Vicia narbonensis, L. A rather common weed of 

 cultivated ground in the Mediterranean area. It has 

 been recorded on several occasions in connection with 

 grain-sifting aliens in Britain. 



Vicia pannonica, Crantz. Native of meadows and 

 bushy places in Central and Southern Europe, and a 

 weed of cultivation in many parts of the same area. 

 In England it has occurred as a weed of cultivated 

 and waste ground, the result, certainly in one case, 

 probably in all, of the importation of seed and grain. 



Vicia peregrina, L. A weed of cultivation of the 

 Mediterranean area, found among grain-sifting aliens 

 at Silloth in Cumberland and in other places. 



Vicia Pseudo-cracca, Bertol. Native of bushy places 

 in the east of Europe. Once recorded on ballast in 

 Britain. 



Vicia sativa, L. Anciently cultivated in Europe. In 

 Britain not uncommon in cultivated and waste ground, 

 but always a relic of vetch cultivation. 



Vicia tenuifolia, Roth. Native of bushy places from 

 Central Europe to the Orient, also a weed of cultivated 

 fields in Europe. It has been recorded once in Britain 

 among a colony of grain-sifting aliens. 



Vicia villosa, Roth. Native of rocky ground and 

 bushy places in Central and Southern Europe, and 

 common in cultivated ground in many parts of the 

 Continent. Several times recorded in England in 

 connection with siftings of imported wheat.
