Wild lentil (Lens lamottei)

Wild lentil

Wild lentil is a resilient legume with a compact growth habit. Its small, delicate, lens-shaped seeds are significant for both identification and as a clue to its adaptive strategies. Typically thriving in arid climates, wild lentil's roots anchor deeply to access water, while its drought-resistant foliage helps it persevere in challenging conditions. This hardiness reflects an evolutionary finesse that allows it to flourish where other species may struggle.
