Vicia Ohwiana
''Vicia'' is a genus of over 240 species of flowering plants that are part of the legume family (Fabaceae), and which are commonly known as vetches. Member species are native to Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Africa. Some other genera of their subfamily Faboideae also have names containing "vetch", for example the vetchlings (''Lathyrus'') or the milk-vetches (''Astragalus''). The broad bean (''Vicia faba'') is sometimes separated in a monotypic genus ''Faba''; although not often used today, it is of historical importance in plant taxonomy as the namesake of the order (biology), order Fabales, the Fabaceae and the Faboideae. The tribe (biology), tribe Vicieae in which the vetches are placed is named after the genus' current name. Among the closest living relatives of vetches are the lentils (''Lens (plant), Lens'') and the true peas (''Pisum'').
Use by humans
Bitter vetch (''Vicia ervilia, V. ervilia'') was one of the Neolithic founder crops, first dom ...
