This is Vicia villosa. You often find this vetch spread like this over the top of tall grasses on roadsides. Often it will be these purple flowers stretching for hundreds of feet. Once I stopped at a stand of this vetch in Vermillion County and tried to find where the stem was rooted in the ground, I couldn't find it. It just seems to grow out of the air. The Vicia villosa in this picture is along a roadside near Fox Island near Fort Wayne. Picture taken June 17, 2009.
