Lathyris pratensis Linn. Meadow pea. Smith (1904, p. 218) records the species from Ashburton, and it has now been found near Gore, S. D. Blomfield! Allan (1940, p. 291) mentions the species and gives a description; the description, however, is not that of L. pratensis but that of L. hirsutus Linn. L. pratensis Linn. differs from the latter species in the yellow flowers and glabrous pods.
