Astragalus Ptilodes Var. Amphilogus

Yellow milkvetch, scientifically known as Astragalus ptilodes var. amphilogus, is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the arid regions of western North America. This legume is characterized by its slender stems, small yellow flowers, and deeply lobed leaves that help it conserve water in harsh environments. It thrives in sandy soils and is often found in desert scrub and grassland habitats. Due to its limited range and vulnerability to habitat loss, the yellow milkvetch is considered an endangered species. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this unique plant and the ecosystems it supports.
