| | | False Vetch ?
I've tried the search facility and google etc, but I still cant find reference to this plant.
It appears to grow from a grass like plant yet flowers with a legume like flower and produces pods.
Somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to remember hearing the words "false Vetch" could this be it please ?
If not, any idea what it may be thanks.

It looks to me a bit like Lathyrus tuberosa - tuberous vetchling but can't see leaves to judge. |

Your description says it all! It is Grass Vetchling, Lathyrus nissolia

thanks for that, any idea's as to why a legume would grow as a mono cotyledon. I dug one up, seems to have a rhizome type root, it seems to fly in face of things I learnt at school.
