Astragalus Depressus Subf. Ioleucus

Astragalus depressus subf. ioleucus is a lesser-known member of the legume family known for its unique adaptations to arid environments. This sub-species is primarily found in the mountainous regions of central Asia, where it thrives in rocky and well-drained soils. Its small, rounded leaves and pale yellow flowers make it an attractive yet often overlooked plant in its native habitat. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in stabilizing soil and supporting local biodiversity. Further study of this plant could offer insights into plant resilience in harsh climates.
