Securigera varia - Crown Vetch

nobody@flickr.com (Virens (Latin for greening)) — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:17:47 -0800

Formerly Coronilla varia.
Leguminosae - Legume Family
Native to Europe, Asia and Africa. Introduced and naturalized extensively throughout the United States and Canada.

Listed as invasive in some areas but not New York State or New England. "Because of its rapid growth and spread, by both rhizomes (underground stems that sprout roots and shoots) and seeds, crown vetch effectively counters soil erosion in damaged soils. The negative extreme of its easy proliferation is that it quickly establishes control of areas, thereby banishing other desirable species."

German: Kräkviker, Vicia cracca L.
aka Tufted Vetch, Bird Vetch, Boreal Vetch
Introduced. Perennial. Leguminosae Family

Stems tufted, slender, angled, branching, two to four feet long, climbing by means of tendrils at the tips of the pinnately compound leaves and forming dense mats, smothering grass or other plants that grow beneath, and entangling and pulling down the crop when growing in a grain field. Leaves sessile or nearly so, composed of eighteen to twenty- four thin, narrowly oblong, entire bristle-tipped leaflets. The whole plant is covered with fine, close- pressed hairs and is a soft olive green in color. Flowers numerous, on slender, one-sided axillary racemes about as long as the leaves, the standard and wings of the corollas being narrower than in the preceding species; each blossom is about a half-inch long, violet-blue in color, and hangs reflexed on its stalk.
