Vicia lathyroides L. (spring vetch) is an annual plant with a weak, sprawling stem 5–25 cm long. It grows in dry, sandy habitats, such as dry grasslands on sands, fallow land and sandy roadsides. The species is characteristic of the Vicio-lathyroidis-Potentillion argenteae alliance. It is endangered species in the region (EN), while globally it is listed as least concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In the Wyżyna Małopolska upland, it has so far been reported from only a few localities: the Przedgórze Iłżeckie foothills, the Wzgórza Opoczyńskie hills and the south-western part of the Góry Świętokrzyskie Mts. A new locality of the species was found on the campus of Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce (EE74c12, ATPOL grid square with a side length of 2.5 km). Vicia lathyroides grew in several places within fragments of sandy grasslands (Fig. 1A). The population consisted of about 50 generative individuals (Fig. 1B). In a few individuals, the first pods had already developed, although they were not yet fully mature (Fig. 1C). The floristic composition of the phytocoenosis is presented in the following example phytosociological relevé (Zdj. 1).
