Astragalus plattensis, the Platte River milkvetch, is a species of flowering plant in the legume family, Fabaceae, native to North America.[2] It was named in 1838.[3] Its range includes the Great Plains of the United States, from southern Montana and North Dakota south to central Texas.[4]
Astragalus plattensis is also sometimes called ground plum, a name it shares with some other species in the genus Astragalus, particularly Astragalus crassicarpus.[5] The two species are sometimes confused, though in general, the fruiting pods of A. crassicarpus are glabrous (hairless) while those of A. plattensis are hairy.[6]
