Onobrychis (Greek, asses' food). Leguminosae. Among cultivated plants, this genus contributes the sainfoin, used for forage. The group yields little in the way of ornamentals. Perennial, sometimes shrubby and spiny: leaves odd- pinnate, with entire not stipellate leaflets: flowers purplish, rose-colored or whitish, in axillary peduncled spikes or racemes; calyx-lobes subulate, for the most part nearly equal; corolla papilionaceous, the standard obovate or obcordate and narrowed toward the base; wings short; keel obtuse, equaling or exceeding the standard; stamens 9 and 1; ovary 1-2-ovuled: pod sessile, flat and hard, 1-seeded and indehiscent.—Species 50 and more, Europe, N. Africa and W. Asia. Closely related to Hedysarum, but differing in the 1-seeded or 1-jointed pod.
