Multi-stemmed peas (Latin Vicia multicaulis) - a rhizome herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the genus Vika (Latin Vicia) from the legume family (Latin Fabaceae). Pea multistemal has a typical appearance for plants of the Vika genus: it is pair-pinnate compound leaves, giving an openwork look to the bushes, and flowers of a moth type of lilac shades. The difference is the numerous stems born from the rhizome, which has a thickening closer to the surface of the earth.
Description
Perennial Pea pea is supported by an underground rhizome, which thickens closer to the surface of the earth.
From the rhizome, numerous low (from 20 to 40 centimeters in height) stems appear in the world, which can be erect, but more often prefer a semi-recumbent position. Their abundance allows the stems to abandon branching. The surface of the stems is protected by hairy pubescence.
A compound leaf begins with semi-sagittal pointed stipules up to 0.6 centimeters long. On the petiole of a complex leaf, oval-elliptical leaves up to 1, 8 centimeters long and up to 0.5 centimeters wide are located in pairs. Four to six such pairs form one complex leaf, the end of which has a curved short tip (for leaves located below the stem) or a simple short tendril (for leaves located higher along the stem), the purpose of which is to create additional stability for a thin stem by clinging for neighboring plants. Harsh green leaves with pronounced veins can be glabrous or slightly pubescent.
Long peduncles show the world loose cluster inflorescences, collected from 4-6 miniature moth-type flowers. The length of the flower does not exceed 1, 8 centimeters, and the color does not differ in a wide variety of colors, choosing lilac-blue and dark-purple different shades for the plant. The flowers are protected by a calyx of accrete sepals, which break down at the top into linear subulate teeth.
The dark brown seeds are securely packed in a bean pod up to 2.5 centimeters long by 0.6 centimeters wide.
