Plant who's seed looks like a sweetpea's one.

 

Spot (and identify if poss) the cuckoo in the nest.  Son had planted a
tray of sweetpea seeds; most of them have come up, but one plant looks
totally different to the others.  Probably its seed looks pretty much
like a sweetpea's seed (son has lots of difficulties so he would not
notice if it was subtly different , but I am fairly sure he would notice
if the seed had been glaringly different).

Same family, could be  a species or vetch

The leaves are much narrower than a picture I found on the 'Net of a

Seedlings don't always look like mature plants, which is why I wouldn't
attempt an identification to species, and in this case the number of
leaflets is lower than one expects in a major plant, but the tares (3
species, but hairy tare, Vicia hirsuta, is much the commonest) have
narrower leaflets than common vetch. (I can recognise 5 species of vetch
in flower and fruit, but not from the foliage.)

I seem to recall Lathyrus heterophylus (spell?) looks similar at seedling
stage
