Astragalus atropubescens

Astragalus atropubescens

Astragalus atropubescens is a perennial milkvetch with dark, pubescent (hairy) characteristics as the species name suggests, native to Central Asia or the Middle East where it grows in dry steppe and rocky hillside habitats. It bears pinnately compound leaves with conspicuous dark hairs and racemes of pea-type flowers, adapted to the harsh, semi-arid conditions of its native range. The dark hairs may provide protection against intense solar radiation in open, dry habitats.
