Astragalus Argophyllus Var. Typicus

Silverleaf milkvetch, scientifically known as Astragalus argophyllus var. typicus, is a rare and striking plant native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States. This legume is characterized by its silvery-gray foliage and delicate, pea-like flowers that bloom in late spring. It thrives in harsh, dry environments where few other plants can survive, making it a symbol of resilience in the desert ecosystem. Due to habitat loss and climate change, the species faces significant threats to its survival. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this unique and ecologically important plant.
