Medicago Murex F. Ovata

Ovate medick, scientifically known as Medicago murex f. ovata, is a lesser-known variant of the medick genus native to parts of Europe and Asia. This plant is characterized by its distinct ovate-shaped leaves and small, pea-like flowers that bloom in early summer. It thrives in dry, open habitats such as grasslands and rocky soils, often growing in scattered colonies. Despite its modest appearance, ovate medick plays an important role in supporting pollinators and maintaining soil stability. Its unique morphology and ecological significance make it a fascinating subject for botanical study.
