Anthyllis Vulneraria Proles Hispida

Common vetch, scientifically known as Anthyllis vulneraria proles hispida, is a hardy legume native to rocky and arid environments across Europe and parts of Asia. This plant thrives in poor soils and is often found on slopes, cliffs, and gravelly areas where few other species can survive. Its small, pea-like flowers bloom in early spring, adding a delicate touch of color to the landscape. The plant is also notable for its ability to fix nitrogen, enriching the soil and supporting other plant life. Despite its modest appearance, Common vetch plays an important ecological role in stabilizing soil and providing habitat for small invertebrates.
