Note: this study tested susceptibility of several species of Vicia to rust fungi; it confirmed the isolated position of Vicia faba in relation to other species; it also noted that more specialized fungi (Uromyces viciae-fabae ex. V. faba) were restricted to faba bean

Peregrinae, and distant to members of the Narbonensis complex that were resolved closer to faba by Schaefer et al. 2012
