Ononis Spinosa Var. Arvensis

Ononis spinosa var. arvensis is a lesser-known yet resilient plant found in disturbed soils across various regions. It thrives in environments where other vegetation struggles to take hold, often colonizing roadsides and waste areas. This variant of Ononis spinosa is characterized by its compact growth and small, spiny leaves that help it withstand harsh conditions. Despite its unassuming appearance, it plays a vital role in stabilizing soil and supporting local ecosystems. Its presence often signals the early stages of ecological recovery in degraded landscapes.
