About
Anthyllis montana, the mountain kidney vetch, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to the mountains of Southern Europe and parts of the Alps. Growing to 30 cm (12 in) tall by 60 cm (24 in) broad, it is a clump-forming, woody-based perennial. The leaves are divided into numerous fern-like leaflets and are silky and grey-green in colour. The white, pink or purple clover-like flower-heads are borne in spring and summer. The Latin specific epithet montana refers to mountains or coming from mountains.
