    I found this plant in Walnut Canyon National Monument, Arizona, on June 19th. Elevation is about 7000 feet / 2100 meters. The pods look a lot like Astragalus whitneyi but I found it in Arizona and the USDA website does not show it in Arizona. Plus the leaves are shorter and rounder then Astragalus whitneyi. Any ideas?

    No idea really but perhaps compare to Astragalus lentiginosus? There are a few subspecies.
