The chief subject of this brief overview is a vetch species, once distinguished as Vicia calcarata Desf. and currently regarded as V. monantha Retz. subsp. triflora (Ten.) B. L. Burtt & P. Lewis, but we prefer to distinguish this taxon at species level as Vicia calcarata. It is a volunteer plant occurring regularly on ruderal sites in the local floras of the coastal and maritime areas of the Mediterranean Basin, and sporadically happens to be cultivated in fields. It has a more robust growth habit than V. monantha subsp. monantha, with usually three flowers per peduncle and larger seeds, rather constant morphological traits. In situ and on-farm observations on V. calcarata are scarce, relating mostly to the southern mainland of Italy and its islands, Spain, North Africa and Syria, where it is found in forests, grasslands, wheat fields, ruderal soils and along roadsides. On a global scale, there are 91 accessions of V. calcarata in six ex situ genebank collections in Alcalá de Henares, Bari, Beirut, Gatersleben, Sadovo and St. Petersburg. In a series of ex situ field trials in Novi Sad, twelve accessions of V. calcarata produced average yields of 6.3 t ha⁻¹ of forage dry matter and 1100 kg ha⁻¹ of seed. There are promising perspectives for developing cultivars of V. calcarata, since the available divergence offers a solid basis for crop improvement. After a long fall, a novel rise of V. calcarata is yet to come.

简要概述的主要主题是v子，曾经被称为野豌豆（Vicia calcarata Desf）。目前被称为V. monantha Retz。亚种 triflora（田纳西州）BL Burtt和P.Lewis，但我们更喜欢将此物种分类为野豌豆。它是一种志愿植物，经常出现在地中海盆地沿海和海洋地区当地植物群上的自然环境中，偶尔会在田间种植。它具有比V. monantha subsp。更强壮的生长习惯。monantha，通常每花梗三朵花，种子较大，形态特征恒定。现场和农场观察V. calcarata是稀缺的，主要与意大利南部大陆及其岛屿，西班牙，北非和叙利亚有关，在森林，草原，麦田，石土壤和路旁都可以找到。在全球范围内，阿尔卡拉·德·埃纳雷斯（Alcaláde Henares），巴里，贝鲁特，盖特斯莱本，萨多沃和圣彼得堡的六个非原生境种质库中共有91种V. calcarata。在诺维萨德（Novi Sad）进行的一系列异地田间试验中，十二种access菜（V. calcarata）的平均产量为6.3 t ha ^-1的饲用干物质和1100 kg ha ^-1的种子。发展角叉菜栽培种有广阔的前景，因为可用的差异为作物改良提供了坚实的基础。漫长的跌倒之后，V。calcarata的新颖上升尚未到来。
