Argyrolobium uniflorum is a wild pluriannual herbaceous species of drought tolerant legume found in arid regions of Northern Africa[2] sometimes described as pseudo-savannah.[3] A. uniflorum is a hardy wild species of plant and it is considered a valuable forage crop for agriculture in Africa.[4] It is also useful as a potentially important species in bioremediation and dryland restoration in arid regions of Tusinia which are sensitive to misappropriation and overgrazing.[4]
Argyrolobium uniflorum has been described as a dwarf flowering shrub with stems 10-18 inches long, with infolded leaflets, solitary flowers opposite the leaf.[5]
Argyrolobium uniflorum is found in South Africa along the Berg River and on the Vanstaadensberg mountain range and uncommonly in Albany Africa.[5] Recent examples of the species in Europe in South Eastern Spain and are considered an emerging plant in these areas.[6]
Argyrolobium uniflorum is a symbiosis competent legume. It is capable of nodule formation[7] and nitrogen fixing symbiosis with species of alphaproteobacteria.[4][2]
