Anthyllis


The botany Anthyllis , whose vernacular equivalents are vulnerary lady's fingers or (this last term being especially reserved with the species Anthyllis vulneraria ), gathers Plante S of the family of the Fabacées (or Leguminous plants), generally Southerners and/or mountain, certain species being only the Mediterranean.

These plants resemble large Trèfle S, by their flowers grouped in Racème S with the appearance of flowerheads, but they are characterized some by their Feuille S imparipennées, sometimes with very many leaflets ( Anthyllis Montana ). The inflorescences are in certain species surrounded by two large Bractée S webbed with many segments. The chalice of the flowers, often swollen, hairy, is almost always surrounded by a sleeping bag blanchâtre which could be at the origin of the name given to the kind (Greek anthos = flower + ioulos = sleeping bag according to certain authors). The Corolle is papilionacée, with a standard equalizing the wings and the hull; the wings adhere to the hull by their limb; the hull blunt or is hardly prolonged in nozzle. The Fruit is a Gousse with one or two seeds contained in the tube of the chalice.
