Astragalus irisui ( Astragalus irisuensis)

Astragalus is the largest genus in the Legume family. 2,455 plant species have a common name.
They are perennial plants or subshrubs that grow primarily in the temperate biome.
Astragalus are widespread in China, Mongolia, and Central Asia. In Kyrgyzstan, the predominance of species of the genus Astragalus (Astragalus) is noted - 169 species. Most astragals have not been studied at all. Many species of astragalus are food plants. Among the astragals there are melliferous and medicinal plants.
Botanical description of the species: The native range of Astragalus irisui is the south of Kyrgyzstan.
Flowers: perianth - zygomorphic; number of petals - 5; inflorescence - brush.
External signs of leaves: leaves - complex; division - pinnate; orders of complexity - 1; attachment - petiolate; division - absent.
Differences in shoots: the leaf arrangement on the shoot is regular.
Fruits: dry type; dry pod or bean.
Interesting Facts: The Latin name "Astragalus" is derived from the Greek word for the dice that the seeds resemble. Astragalus is often called the herb of life of Kremlin leaders. According to rumors, this plant helped them look younger than their age until they were old.
Astragalus became widely known after the 70s of the twentieth century, when scientists started talking about its healing properties and established the exact chemical composition.
