Abstract
Vicia can be divided into three different types according to the morphology of the floral peduncle (Figure 10): ervum, with a small number of tiny flowers in gracile peduncles (e.g. V. tetrasperma); cracca, with a high number of flowers in long racemes (e.g. V. cracca, V. villosa); and euvicia, with sessile flowers (e.g. V. sativa, V. narbonensis), or flowers in small numbers in very short racemes (V. faba, V. roelanops).
