Astragalus bylowae was assessed as " critically endangered" in 2006 for the IUCN Red List, where it is said to be native only to a small area of Armenia. [3] As of April 2023 [update], A. bylowae was regarded as a synonym of Astragalus ornithopodioides, which has a wider distribution that includes Iran and Turkey. [2] [4]
