Talk:Vicia ervilia

Can someone type kersannah (Arabic) in Arabic letters? please...

Vicia ervilia or Lathyrus linifolius?
According to this site Swedish Gökärt translates to Bitter-vetch and according to the Lathyrus article the Latin name for Bitter Vetch is Lathyrus linifolius (just as the Swedish article suggests) not Vicia ervilia as this article claims. There seem to be something wrong here.

Bitter vetch is a widely accepted name for this species. The seeds have a distinct bitter flavour and Galen, Dioscorides and Hippocrates refer to its use in medicine. " By how much it is bitter, by so much it cleaneth, cutteth, and removeth stop pings, so the name bitter vetch appears to be justified. Nevertheless, the same vulgar name is also used for other species. No doubt, other species of Vicia and Lathyrus are likely to be bitter and hence the vulgar name "bitter vetch" is not as specific as the latin binomial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.182.64 (talk) 11:45, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
