The genus Lathyrus are the sweet peas and vetchlings, flowering plants in the legume family Fabaceae.
There are approximately 160 species of Lathyrus; they are native to temperate areas in both hemispheres and their range extends into mountainous parts of Africa.
Lathyrus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Grey Chi, Latticed Heath (both recorded on Meadow Vetchling) and Chionodes braunella.

 Lathyrus sativus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lathyrus sativus, is a legume (family Fabaceae) commonly grown for human consumption and livestock feed in Asia and Africa.
It is a particularly important crop in areas that are prone to drought and famine, and is thought of as an 'insurance crop' as it produces reliable yields when all other crops fail.

 Care and Cultivation of Sweet Peas, Lathyrus odoratus
The Sweet Pea has long been a favorite of gardeners because of the wonderful fragrance of the large clusters of colorful blue, pink, purple, red or white flowers.
The Sweet Pea, Lathyrus odoratus, is generally considered to be a vining plant which often reaches a height of ten feet, but there are also varieties which are more bush-like and only grow to a height of 30 inches.
The plants should be grown in rich, moist soil, and require regular watering during the summer months or they will quickly fade away.

The seeds are indeed toxic, as is the whole plant if eaten in any quantity.
The word lathyrus in part comes from the Greek for "excite", and there is a condition known as lathyrism, which causes nervous system excitement if they are ingested.
This is helpful to know if you have small children around, who may confuse them with edible peas.

 Poverty, Disability, and Development Aid in Economically Weaker Countries   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Holzinger sketched the lathyrus/lathyrism literature of many countries and referred to 19th century Indian and Algerian work, also the Russian epidemic of 1891-1892.
He detailed the ill effects of lathyrus sativus (grass pea) consumption and presented twelve case histories of Galla [now Oromo] and Abyssinian people with lathyrism examined at Harar and Addis Ababa, many dating from the great famine of 1888-1892.
It is more poignant because the people consuming the toxic pea are often aware of the risk; but the plant thrives when normal crops fail, and the very poor have no other recourse.
