Lens Mill.
Lens is a taxonomically complex genus of four species, all native to the Mediterranean area, West-Asia and parts of Africa. One species, Lens culinaris, is an economically important crop (lentil). It is widely cultivated in the warmer areas of the world for its seeds or as flour.
Species of Lens are sometimes included in a broadly circumscribed genus Vicia. However, recent taxonomists tend to accept it as a genus of its own.
Additional alien: Lens nigricans (Bieb.) Godr. (syn.: Vicia nigricans (Bieb.) Coss. et Germ.) (Medit., SW-As., grain alien?).
