ID of ?edible pea
Can anybody give me an ID on this pea?
http://box.net/public/richwrig/dfiles/ClimbingPea.jpg It grows in late winter/early spring (Sydney, Australia) as a climber up to 3 m (10 feet). The pods, which are reasonably sweet and tasty, have a peculiar appearance of being closed by a purplish zipper. The location is on the edge of a communal vegetable garden but none of the community is ever there when I pass by. What is the speciesd/variety? Is it edible? |

My browser (Arachne) said the file was not any format it recognized, so I downloaded the file to take a closer look. I tried a DOS viewer ("Picture Viewer") on it and nothing was displayed apart from a message that the file was a damaged jpeg file. So I tried another viewer (dvpeg) and this time the photo was displayed with no problems. So it seems that there is something non-standard about your photo conversion.

Pin a note with your question to the plant, along with your phone number and a 20c coin. I've added in aus.gardens to canvass local knowledge. Hope that's okay. -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |

I got the info from the group that this is Dolichos lablab (Lablab bean). http://www.floridata.com/ref/D/doli_lab.cfm Your experience with the image got me a bit worried. Before posting I had reduced it in size by IrfanView. Now I have downloaded to see if I have problems. Can open it in IrfanView, in Microsoft Photo Editor and can import into CorelDraw 9. Have never previously had complaints about JPEGs saved with IrfanView. |
