Beach Pea

Copyright © Lewis Scharpf

Lathyrus japonicus
A legume with a very large range of distribution and native to temperate coastal areas of North America, Asia, Europe, and South America.
The extensive native range is of this wildflower may be due to to the ability of the seeds to remain viable while floating in sea water for up to 5 years.
This enables the seed to drift almost worldwide.
