'''''Ononis''''' is a large [[genus]] of [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[herb]]s and shrubs from the [[legume]] family [[Fabaceae]]. The members of this genus are often called '''restharrows''' as some species are arable weeds whose tough stems would stop the [[harrow (tool)|harrow]]. They are natively distributed in [[Europe]]. In [[herbalism]] restharrow is used to treat bladder and kidney problems and water retention. The active ingredients in restharrow are [[essential oils]], [[flavonoid]]-[[glycosides]], and [[tannins]]. Restharrows are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species including [[Grey Pug]] and ''[[Coleophora|Coleophora ononidella]]'' (feeds exclusively on ''O. arvensis''). {{Inc| Ononis (old Greek name). Leguminosae. Rest- Harrow. Good plants for borders and rock-gardens, with clover-like leaves. Annual, biennial or perennial, often shrubby; glabrous or villous: Lvs. usually pinnately foliolate, the stipules attached to the petiole: fls. papilionaceous, yellow, purple, pink or rarely white, solitary, 2-3 in the axils or in peduncled racemes; calyx bell-shaped, 5-parted, deeply cut, narrow; standard large, striped; stamens united in a tube, the members sometimes partly free: pod usually swollen, few-seeded.—Some 70 species, Canaries, Medit. region, to Cent, and N. Eu. A few of the perennial species are more or less in cult. They thrive under usual treatment; prop, by division and by seeds. Sometimes the Lvs. are 1-foliolate. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== * ''O. alopecuroides'', Foxtail Restharrow * ''O. arvensis'', Field Restharrow * ''O. natrix'', Large Yellow Restharrow * ''O. pusilla'' * ''O. reclinata'', Small Restharrow * ''[[Ononis repens|O. repens]]'', Common Restharrow * ''[[Ononis rotundifolia|O. rotundifolia]]'' * ''O. speciosa'' * [[Ononis spinosa|''O. spinosa'']], Spiny Restharrow ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Ononis natrix0.jpg|''Ononis natrix'', flowers and foliage Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
