Fabaceae

38-Papilionaceous flowers of Lathyrus

[FMP-field: image]

In these flowers of Lathyrus latifolius (everlasting pea), you can easily see the banner petal and the two wing petals. The keel petals are enclosed by the wing petals. Again note that the banner petal is outside the wing and keel petals.
