Description: In Hawaii, "apparnetly cultivated as a forage plant and now at least sparingly naturalized along roadsides and in pastures, 915-1,220 m, Olinda, Maui" (Wagner et al., p. 678). In New Zealand: "Waste places, coastal cliffs, sands and gravels. Tangier pea forms extensive patches in some areas and may be found growing with L. latifolius. These 2 common spp. are easily distinguished when flowering and may also be told apart when fruiting as the seeds of Tangier pea are smooth and have a short hilum. Plants of Tangier pea germinating and flowering late in the season may be much more slender, and have narrow stem wings, smaller leaves with indistinct parallel veins, and short peduncles" (Webb et al., 1988; p. 655).
