About

Oxytropis urumovii is a species of flowering plant in the legume family endemic to Bulgaria, where it is restricted to the Pirin mountain range. There, it is found at altitudes of 2,500–2,800 m in the cirques of Malkia and Golemiya Kazan and the summits of Vihren (2,914 m), Banski Suhodol (2,884 m), Razlozhki Suhodol (2,728 m) and Kamenititsa (2,726 m) in the protected areas of Pirin National Park and Bayuvi Dupki–Dzhindzhiritsa Nature Reserve.

Oxytropis urumovii is distinctive compared to the other Balkan species of Oxytropis, with a semi-bilocular or almost completely bilocular legume. The plant, including the fruit, is densely covered with 2–3 mm patent whitish hairs.
