Medicago noeana is a small annual legume from the pea family, native to Türkiye and western Iran, and it is not a commonly grown garden plant. It fixes nitrogen through a partnership with soil bacteria, much like alfalfa and clover.
Medicago noeana is a species of flowering plant in the Fabaceae family. It can be found throughout the Middle East. It forms a symbiotic relationship with the bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti, which is capable of nitrogen fixation.
