	Tufted Vetch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tufted Vetch is similar to a pea in growth habit, sending out noose -like tendrils from the tips of its leaves when it contacts another plant and securely fastens itself.
		Tufted Vetch is widely used as a forage crop for cattle, and is benefitial to other plants because, like other leguminous plants, it enriches the soil in which it grows by its nitrogen-fixing properties.
		Tufted Vetch is also much appreciated by bees and butterflies as a source of nectar.

	Blue, Tufted, or Cow Vetch or Tare - Flowers
		Dry fields blued with the bright blossoms of the tufted vetch, and roadsides and thickets where the angular vine sends forth vivid patches of color, resound with the music of happy bees.
		Ogle observed that the same bee always acts in the same manner, one sucking the nectar legitimately, another always biting a hole to obtain it surreptitiously, the natural inference, of course, being that some bees, like small boys, are naturally depraved.
		The American Vetch, or Tare, or Pea Vine (V. Americana) boasts slightly larger bluish-purple flowers than the blue vetch, but fewer of them; from three to nine only forming its loose raceme.

		An outstanding early spring flower, yellow tufted milk-vetch is widespread in western North Dakota, and has been found as far east as Steele County.
		The growth form of yellow tufted milk-vetch is termed "cushion," a low, tufted appearance caused by short and densely aggregated stems and flower stalks.
		There is little stem development on this plant; instead, the silvery leaves arise almost directly from the branched crown of a heavy taproot.
