‘Lynx’ (Reg. No. CV‐28, PI 666111) pea ( Pisum sativum L.)—developed by the USDA‐ARS Grain Legume Genetics and Physiology Research Unit in cooperation with the Washington Agriculture Research Center, Pullman, WA, and Central Washington Grain Growers, Wilbur, WA—was released in 2012 as an upright, semi‐leafless, autumn‐sown, cold‐hardy pea cultivar. Lynx was developed with a modified bulk pedigree breeding system. It was identified as an F 7 selection from the cross PS9530174/PS9530726 (Cross no. X98P103) and evaluated as PS05300180W. Lynx was evaluated in autumn‐sown yield trials for a total of 21 location‐years in Washington. Across all locations, the grain yield of Lynx averaged 3248 kg ha −1 , and the plants reached maturity in approximately 298 d. Lynx has short internodes, white unpigmented flowers, and seeds with green cotyledons and a clear seed coat. The average 100‐seed weight is 12.2 g. Lynx will be integrated as a rotational crop in the winter grain/summer fallow farming systems in North Central Washington. It is anticipated that the end use will be as a component in wildlife forage plots.
