A perennial plant lives and blooms for many years.

A herb is a plant whose stems die back to the ground in the winter.

pubescent -- downy; covered with short, soft, erect hairs.

fruit -- any seed-bearing structure in flowering plants. It is formed from the ovary after flowering.

Glands are plant structures that secrete liquids, salts or other substances. Glands often appear as hairs with a drop of liquid at the end.

In a pea flower the two bottom petals are fused together forming a boat-like structure called the keel. The glumes of grasses may have a sharp projecting ridge like the keel of a boat.

pinnate -- A compound leaf with two rows of leaflets.

stipule -- A leaf-like structure that occurs where the leaf joins the stem; stipules often occur in pairs.

A raceme is an unbranched, indeterminate type of inflorescence bearing flowers having short floral stalks along its axis.

alternate -- leaves alternate along the main stem and are attached singly.

oblong -- Having an elongated form with somewhat parallel sides. Rectangular.

leaflets -- Each little leaf-like thing in a compound leaf is a leaflet.

wing -- Pea flowers have wings.
