Astragalus leucolobus is a species of milkvetch known by the common names Bear Valley milkvetch and Bear Valley woollypod.[1] [2]
It is endemic to the mountain ranges of southern California, where it is known from scattered occurrences in the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, and San Jacinto Mountains.[1] It is a plant of mountain forest and woodland.[3]
This is a small perennial herb forming a low clump of spreading stems and woolly leaves.[1] The stems are less than 7 centimeters in length and bear leaves made up of many oval-shaped, pointed leaflets.[1]
An inflorescence of 5 to 13 flowers rises above the clump of herbage.[1] Each flower is pinkish purple and is between one and two centimeters long.[1] The fruit is a densely woolly white legume pod with a bent tip.[1]
