Description

Astragalus cedreti grows close to the ground. It has grayish pinnate leaves, 10 cm (3.9 in) long, with lanceolate stipules. The leaves are pinnately-divided into 20 to 25 leaflets having a smooth contour. The 25 cm (9.8 in) peduncle supports a dense ovate 3 cm (1.2 in) wide raceme. The plant has linear and very hispid bracts, the sepals are 1 cm (0.39 in) long harboring pink-red corollas. The fruit is a very hirsute pod with yellowish hairs.[1]

Distribution and habitat

The Cedar astragalus is endemic to the mountains of Mount-Lebanon.[1]

gollark: I do think the DALL-E Mini name was kind of bad.
gollark: I could automatically do business with an associate though. Probably not fast enough to trademark that much, but it should be possible to do short word sequences.
gollark: Can anyone stop me from trademarking all possible byte sequences (up to some length) preemptively?
gollark: That's probably true. I wasn't going to use C++ either way.
