Ononis Spinosiformis Subsp. Semihircina

Ononis spinosiformis subsp. semihircina is a lesser-known member of the legume family found in rocky and arid environments. It is characterized by its spiny stems and small, pale flowers that bloom in late spring. This subspecies is native to parts of southern Europe and thrives in poor soils where many other plants struggle. Despite its tough appearance, it plays a vital role in stabilizing soil and supporting local wildlife. Its resilience and unique adaptations make it an interesting subject for ecological study.
