Medicago Murex Var. Ovata

Ovate medick, scientifically known as Medicago murex var. ovata, is a lesser-known but ecologically significant plant species native to the Mediterranean region. It is characterized by its distinctive ovate-shaped leaves and small, yellow flowers that bloom in early summer. This plant thrives in dry, rocky soils and is often found in open fields and along the edges of forests. While not widely cultivated, it plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining soil stability. Its resilience and adaptability make it a valuable component of its native ecosystems.
