Anthyllis hermanniae

Anthyllis hermanniae, called the lavender-leaved anthyllis, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is found in Anatolia, Greece, the Balkans, and many Mediterranean islands, including Corsica.[2][3] Coleophora hermanniella, a species of moth found only on Corsica, feeds exclusively on A. hermanniae. A low perennial shrub, it is cultivated as a garden plant, and was formerly cultivated as far north as the United Kingdom, until the great frost of 1739 wiped them out there.[4]

gollark: Weird how the moderators seem to have mostly all picked more muted/dark colors.
gollark: > pirating MP3s despite the existence of better modern audio codecs
gollark: Wouldn't you also have to recharge it a lot, if you *could* somehow make it work? There doesn't seem to be much room for a battery, and I can't see any charging ports on the picture.
gollark: Also, you don't have to deal with issues caused by gloves or masks or whatever. As much.
