Topic: Meadow vetchling

	Meadow vetchling - Lathyrus pratensis - English Nature
		Meadow vetchling is a scrambling plant, with pretty, yellow, pea-like flowers - in bloom throughout the summer - and narrow, lance-shaped leaves.
		The leaves are composed of a pair of grey-green arrow-shaped leaflets and twinning tendrils.
		This is a native of hedgerows and rough grassland and so is a useful plant for wildflower meadows and hedgebanks.

		Seeds of meadow vetchling and seeds and embryos of common bean were plated on basal MS medium (Murashige and Skoog 1962).
		Twenty common bean seeds, 35–85 meadow vetchling seeds and 20–50 forage legumes seeds were used per treatment (depending on the accession).
		The main reason for the low germinability in meadow vetchling was the high percentage of hard seeds, which was 63–72% after a 24-h imbibition in water.

		Doing a regular walk in the same area is one of the best ways to see them all, and to look at them repeatedly until the particular features of a 'difficult' flower begin to sink in.
		I think of this flower, climbing amongst tall grasses, as Yellow Vetchling, when I check with three of my flower books I realise it isn't, the leaves are wrong.
		The best thing is to return and have an even closer look at the arrangement of flowers, the exact shape of the leaves and to check whether it really does have tendrils.
