Anthyllis montana syn. Vulneraria montana Scopoli (mountain kidney vetch) is a species of flowering plant native to the mountains of Southern Europe and parts of the Alps. Growing to 30 cm (12 in) tall by 60 cm (24 in) broad, it is a clump-forming, woody-based perennial. The leaves are divided into numerous fern-like leaflets, and the white, pink or purple clover-like flower-heads are borne in Spring and Summer.
In cultivation it is suitable for the alpine or rock garden. The cultivar 'Rubra' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
