Astragalus Illyricus Var. Soyeri

Soyer's milkvetch, scientifically known as Astragalus illyricus var. soyeri, is a rare and distinctive legume native to the Balkan Peninsula. This plant is characterized by its slender stems, small yellow flowers, and trifoliate leaves that give it a delicate appearance. It thrives in rocky and arid environments, often found in mountainous regions with poor soil conditions. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a vulnerable species facing threats from habitat loss and climate change. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this unique botanical species for future generations.
