Lotus edulis

DSCN2952 [Lotus edulis]
 
A Mediterranean plant widely distributed in Greece.
 
It is a low plant that sprawls up to 30 cm long on the ground and reaches a height of 30-40 cm.
 
It grows in cultivated fields, roadsides and rocky habitats in altitudes usually up to 300 m.
 However, the picture above was taken at a height of about 700-800 on Mt. Parnitha.
 
It flowers in Spring but surprisingly enough it was photographed on October 18 (2008)
