Astragalus Canispinus

Common milkvetch, scientifically known as Astragalus canispinus, is a hardy perennial plant native to arid and semi-arid regions of North America. It is characterized by its slender stems, small yellow flowers, and deeply lobed leaves adapted to withstand harsh environmental conditions. This species thrives in sandy or gravelly soils and is often found in desert scrub and sagebrush habitats. Despite its modest appearance, the common milkvetch plays an important role in stabilizing soil and supporting local wildlife. Its resilience and ecological significance make it a notable plant in xerophytic ecosystems.
