Astragalus ornithopodioides is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to west and north Iran, the South Caucasus (Transcaucasus) and Turkey.[2] It was first described by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in 1783.[1] Under the synonym Astragalus bylowae, a population occurring in Armenia was assessed as "vulnerable" in 2006.[3]

Conservation

Astragalus bylowae was assessed as "critically endangered" in 2006 for the IUCN Red List, where it is said to be native only to a small area of Armenia.[3] As of April 2023, A. bylowae was regarded as a synonym of Astragalus ornithopodioides, which has a wider distribution that includes Iran and Turkey.[2][4]
