Astragalus alopecurus, synonym Astragalus centralpinus, is a species of milkvetch in the family Fabaceae. [1]
Astragalus alopecurus can reach a height of 50–90 centimetres (20–35 in). The hairy stem has a diameter of about 10 mm. Leaves are petiolated, 20–30 centimetres (7.9–11.8 in) long, with rachis covered with ascending hairs. Leaflets are ovate to elliptic, in 20-25 pairs. The inflorescences are in clusters subsessile or with peduncle up to 1 cm, ovoid to cylindrical, 5–9.5 centimetres (2.0–3.7 in), while bracts reach 10–20 millimetres (0.39–0.79 in). Petals are yellow and glabrous. This plant blooms from June to August.[ citation needed ]
Astragalus alopecurus has a wide native distribution, from Europe (Bulgaria, Italy, France, eastern European Russia) to temperate Asia (the Caucasus, Iran, Kazakhstan, Siberia, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Xinjiang in China). [1]
It can be found in mountain regions at an elevation 1,400–2,000 metres (4,600–6,600 ft) above sea level.[ citation needed ]
Anacamptis pyramidalis, the pyramidal orchid, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Anacamptis of the family Orchidaceae.

Wisteria is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae (Leguminosae). The genus includes four species of woody twining vines that are native to China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, southern Canada, the Eastern United States, and north of Iran. They were later introduced to France, Germany and various other countries in Europe. Some species are popular ornamental plants. The genus name is also used as the English name, and may then be spelt 'wistaria'. In some countries in Western and Central Europe, Wisteria is also known by a variant spelling of the genus in which species were formerly placed, Glycine. Examples include the French glycines, the German Glyzinie, and the Polish glicynia.

It is listed as critically endangered by the IUCN.
