Beach Pea or Sea Pea(Lathyrus japonicus) is a herbaceous perennial plant typically growing on sand and gravel storm beaches.  The seeds have the ability to remain viable while floating in sea water for up to 5 years, enabling the seeds to drift nearly worldwide. Germination occurs when the hard outer seed coat is abraded by waves on sand and gravel.
