Anthyllis hermanniae, called the lavender-leaved anthyllis, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is found in Anatolia, Greece, the Balkans, and many Mediterranean islands, including Corsica. [2] [3] Coleophora hermanniella , a species of moth found only on Corsica, feeds exclusively on A. hermanniae. A low perennial shrub, it is cultivated as a garden plant, and was formerly cultivated as far north as the United Kingdom, until the great frost of 1739 wiped them out there. [4]

A. hermanniae is typically 1.5–2 feet tall, with crooked or zig-zag branches. [5] The leaves are simple or trifoliate, with soft silky hairs (more on the underside than the top). [6] This plant grows in a variety of habitats, but requires good drainage, often growing in rocky locations. It produces yellow flowers in late spring-early summer. [7]
