Description

Appearance and leaves

There are annual or perennial herbaceous plants. The stems grow independently upright, hanging or climbing.

The arranged alternate, usually stalked leaves are usually in pairs, very rarely pinnate. The Blattrhachis ends with a tendril, a bristle, a spiked tip or very rarely with leaflets. Rarely the leaves are reduced to phyllodes. Usually the leaves have one to many pairs of leaflets. The edges of the leaflets are usually smooth, rarely toothed. The stipules are often deciduous leaf-like, scalene or almost arrow-shaped, with Pisum they are remarkably large; there are no stipules of leaflets available.

Inflorescences and flowers

The flowers are borne in the leaf axils or on many of the pendant, racemose inflorescences singly or in groups.

The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic and fünfzählig with a double perianth ( perianth ). The five sepals are fused bell-shaped and end with five equal or unequal calyx teeth. The corolla has the typical structure of the Fabaceae. There are intergrown nine or ten stamens all together. The free area of the stamens is broadened thready or at the bottom. The anthers are all the same. It is a general constant carpel available containing two or more seeds plants. The stylus is bald or hairy.

Fruit and seeds

The most laterally flattened, zweifächerigen legumes often contain only one, usually two to many seeds. The seeds are round, flattened, lens-shaped or oblong.

System

The term Fabeae was first published in 1832 by Heinrich Gottlieb Ludwig Reichenbach in Flora germanica excursoria, 2 ( 2 ), pp. 525. Type genus is the 1754 published Faba Mill, now a synonym of Vicia L. published in 1753, but Fabeae is the valid Tribusname, on the other hand is Vicieae DC. - Although published in 1825 - just a synonym ( International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, Vienna Code Article 19.4).

The Tribe Fabeae contains five genera with about 330 species:

• Grass pea ( Lathyrus L.): It contains about 160 species of widely distributed mainly in the northern hemisphere; some species there are in South America.
• Lentil (Lens million ): It contains only four to six species, which are mainly located from the Mediterranean to Central Asia, but also with localities in the Canary Islands and in tropical Africa. The lens is cultivated worldwide.
• Peas ( Pisum L.): it contains only two or three species that are native from the Mediterranean to Asia Minor. The pea is grown worldwide.
• Vavilovia Fed. Contains only one type: Vavilovia formosa ( Steven ) Fedorov: The home is located in the Caucasus in southwestern Asia.
