Sweet Pea Lathyrus odoratus illustration 1905
Sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) is a flowering plant in the genus Lathyrus in the family Fabaceae (legumes), native to the eastern Mediterranean.

The leaves are pinnate with two leaflets and a terminal tendril, which twines around supporting plants and structures helping the sweet pea to climb.

The annual species, L. odoratus, may be confused with the everlasting pea, L. latifolius, a perennial
