Anthyllis is a
genus of
flowering plants in the
familyFabaceae. This genus contains both
herbaceous and
shrubby species and is distributed in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. The most widespread and familiar species is A. vulneraria (kidney vetch), a familiar
grassland flower which has also been introduced to New Zealand.
Anthyllis species are used as food plants by the
larvae of some
Lepidoptera species including the following case-bearers of the genus Coleophora: C. acanthyllidis, C. protecta (both feed exclusively on A. tragacanthoides), C. hermanniella (feeds exclusively on A. hermanniae), C. vestalella (feeds exclusively on A. cytisoides) and C. vulnerariae (feeds exclusively on A. vulneraria).
Species
Anthyllis comprises the following species:[2][3][4][5]
