Oxytropis lambertii

Common Names: purple locoweed, woolly locoweed, and Lambert crazyweed, Stemless locoweed
Habitat: Semi-desert, foothills, montane. Grasslands, shrublands, woodlands.
Flowers:
Description: Wikipedia: Oxytropis lambertii is a perennial herb producing a patch of basal leaves around the root crown, and several showy erect inflorescences. The leaf is compound with several silvery-green leaflets. The inflorescence produces several flowers, each borne in a tubular purple or pinkish calyx of sepals covered thinly in silver hairs. The pealike flower corolla is reddish or bluish purple with a lighter patch at the base of the banner. The fruit is a cylindrical legume pod.
TOXIC
The Oxytropis lambertii plant is one of the locoweeds most frequently implicated in livestock poisoning. Research suggests that the plant itself may not be toxic, but becomes toxic when inhabited by endophytic fungi of the genus Embellisia, which produce swainsonine.
