Lotus berthelotii

A creeping, ground-covering, trailing subshrub with a woody base that branches profusely from the ground. Its five-leafed leaves have narrowly linear, grayish-green leaflets due to their downy down. The bright red, butterfly-shaped flowers have long, keeled beaks and grow in clusters of two to six. Widely used in gardening, it is almost extinct in the wild. Endemic to Tenerife, it is critically endangered.
