Doubt about aov and lm function... bug?

# a) aov

av <- aov(Sepal.Length ~ Species, data=iris)

Error in parse(text = x) :
  unexpected symbol in "Sepal(Sepal.Length+Species)Length"

traceback()

13: parse(text = x)
12: eval(parse(text = x)[[1]])
11: formula(eval(parse(text = x)[[1]]))
10: formula.character(object, env = baseenv())
9: formula(object, env = baseenv())
8: as.formula(frml)
7: expand.formula(frml, colnames(data))
6: model.matrix.formula(mt, mf, contrasts)
5: model.matrix(mt, mf, contrasts)
4: lm(formula = Sepal.Length ~ Species, data = iris, singular.ok = TRUE)
3: eval(expr, envir, enclos)
2: eval(lmcall, parent.frame())
1: aov(Sepal.Length ~ Species, data = iris)

# b) lm

lm1 <- lm(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width, data=iris)

Error in parse(text = x) :
  unexpected symbol in "Sepal(Sepal.Length+Sepal.Width)Length"

traceback()

10: parse(text = x)
