''Oxytropis'' is a genus of plants in the legume family. It is one of three genera of plants known as locoweeds, and are notorious for being toxic to grazing animals. The other locoweed genus is the closely related ''Astragalus''. There are about 300 species, native to Eurasia and North America. Several species are native to the Arctic. These are hairy perennial plants which produce raceme inflorescences of pink, purple, white, or yellow flowers which are generally pea-like but have distinctive sharply beaked keels. The plant produces legume pods containing the seeds. Selected species: *''Oxytropis arctica'' – Arctic locoweed *''Oxytropis bella'' *''Oxytropis borealis'' – boreal locoweed *''Oxytropis campestris'' – field locoweed *''Oxytropis deflexa'' – nodding locoweed *''Oxytropis jacquinii'' *''Oxytropis kobukensis'' – Kobuk locoweed *''Oxytropis lambertii'' – purple locoweed *''Oxytropis monticola'' – yellow-flowered locoweed *''Oxytropis nitens'' *''Oxytropis oreophila'' – mountain oxytrope *''Oxytropis oxyphylla'' *''Oxytropis parryi'' – Parry's locoweed *''Oxytropis podocarpa'' – stalkpod locoweed *''Oxytropis prostrata'' *''Oxytropis pseudoglandulosa'' *''Oxytropis riparia'' – Oxus locoweed *''Oxytropis sericea'' – white locoweed *''Oxytropis strobilacea'' *''Oxytropis todomoshiriensis'' ==External links== * *(Jepson Manual Treatment ) *(USDA Plants Profile ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oxytropis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
