{{Inc| Vicia sativa, Linn. Common Vetch or Tare. Annual or biennial, not surviving the winter in the N., more or less pubescent, 2-3 ft. high: lfts. 7 pairs or less, elliptic, oblong or oblanceolate, mostly truncate and apiculate at the top, the tendril part of the lf. extended: fls. usually 2 in. each axil, about 1 in. long, purplish: pods 2-3 in. long when mature. Eu., and naturalized in some parts of the U. S. R.F.G. 22:248. B.B. 2:2621. —Much cult. abroad as a forage plant; in this country grown for similar purposes and also somewhat as a cover-crop for orchards. Best adapted to S. E. U. S. and the Pacific coast as a winter crop for green manure or sown with oats, wheat, rye, or barley for hay. As a spring crop it succeeds only where the summers are fairly cool. Not much injured by a temperature of 10° F. but zero weather results in much winter-killing. The name winter vetch is more commonly applied to winter strains of V. sativa in Eu. Seeds sometimes used for making flour. Var. alba, Beck (V. alba, Moench). Fls. white or whitish: seeds mostly whitish to gray. Var. macrocarpa, Moris. Fls. 1 1/8 – 1 1/4 in. long: seed compressed, 1/8-3/16 in. diam. }} ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
