      sure looks like it - it was in an area likely to have introduced species too. There's lots of pea species in the area, so I'll double check, but I think you are right. Posted 8 years ago, modified 8 years ago

        That's very easy to rule out if you have a photo of the leaves. Alfalfa leaves are similar to clover while Pisum leaves are more complex. Posted 8 years ago
