Anthyllis Vulneraria Subsp. Hispida

Hispid anthyllis, scientifically known as Anthyllis vulneraria subsp. hispida, is a hardy perennial plant native to arid and semi-arid regions of Europe and parts of Asia. It thrives in rocky soils and is often found on limestone and sandy slopes, demonstrating remarkable adaptability to harsh environments. The plant is characterized by its dense, hairy foliage and small, pea-like flowers that bloom in shades of pink and white. Despite its delicate appearance, Hispid anthyllis is resilient, capable of surviving in conditions with limited water and nutrients. Its ecological importance lies in its role as a food source for various insects and its ability to stabilize soil in degraded landscapes.
