Astragalus eucosmus, commonly known as elegant milkvetch or pretty milkvetch, is a species of milkvetch in the legume family.
Astragalus eucosmus is found in a continuous distribution across almost every Canadian province and into the Rocky Mountains of the western United States. [1]
Related to its widespread distribution, elegant milkvetch varies phenotypically based on the elevation it grows at; at higher elevations, it can appear stunted. [1]
