pea

Climbing leguminous plant (see legume) with pods of round green edible seeds, grown since prehistoric times for food. The pea is a popular vegetable and is eaten fresh, canned, frozen, or dried. The sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) of the same family is grown for its scented red, purple, pink, and white butterfly-shaped flowers; it is a popular cottage garden plant. (Edible pea Pisum sativum, family Leguminosae.)
