Tufted vetch - a purple scrambler


Tufted vetch is a very common scrambler in grassy places at this time of year.  The leaves are made up of ten or more leaflets and terminate in a branching tendril, three little wiry threads that twine round anything that will help them climb up to the light



The purple flowers are arranged in a long raceme, all on one side of the stem.
