Onobrychis Pindicola F. Alpina

Alpine onobrychis, scientifically known as Onobrychis pindicola f. alpina, is a rare and hardy plant species native to the high-altitude regions of the Balkan Peninsula. It thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and is adapted to the harsh conditions of mountainous environments. This plant is characterized by its small, delicate leaves and yellow flowers that bloom in early summer. Due to its limited distribution and ecological significance, it is considered a valuable indicator of alpine biodiversity. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this unique species from habitat loss and climate change.
