Astragalus pendulus, synonym Astragalus coelestis, is a species of milkvetch native to Iran, the Transcaucasus and Turkey.[1]

Conservation

Astragalus coelestis was assessed as "data deficient" in the 2006 IUCN Red List, where it is said to be native only to Armenia, occurring on Mount Bug-Dag in the Sevan area on slopes at about 2,200 m elevation.[2] (As of April 2023), A. coelestis was regarded as a synonym of Astragalus pendulus, which has a wider distribution, including Iran and Turkey.[1]
