'''''Lotus berthelotii''''' is a [[perennial plant]] native to the [[Canary Islands]], in the [[genus]] ''[[Lotus (genus)|Lotus]]''. It has a creeping or trailing habit, with [[leaf|leaves]] divided into 3-5 slender leaflets, each leaflet 1-2 cm long and 1 mm broad, densely covered with fine silvery hairs. The [[flower]]s are orange-red to red, peaflower-shaped, but slender, 2-4 cm long and 5-8 mm broad. This plant is either extinct in the wild or persists as a few individuals. In 1884 it was already classed as "exceedingly rare" and plant collection probably hastened its decline. Decline was most likely inevitable, however, because of [[Pollinator decline|lack of pollinators]]. The plant is obviously adapted to be [[pollination|pollinated]] by [[bird]]s, but no such birds remain in the Canaries.
===Uses===
It is grown as a [[garden]] [[ornamental plant]], and is valued for its needle-like silvery foliage and red [[flower]]s.
