Called “oxytropises” in GBIF
Oxytropis is a genus of plants in the legume family. It includes over 600 species native to subarctic to temperate regions of North America and Eurasia. It is one of three genera of plants known as locoweeds, and are notorious for being toxic to grazing animals. The other locoweed genera are the closely related Astragalus, and the Australian Swainsona. Most oxtropis species are native to Eurasia and North America, but several species are native to the Arctic. These are hairy perennial plants which produce raceme inflorescences of pink, purple, white, or yellow flowers which are generally pea-like but have distinctive sharply beaked keels. The stems are leafless, the leaves being all basal. The plant produces legume pods containing the seeds.

If you garden with native alpine or rock-garden plants, this suggests the mix of species you plan...
Every article on Plant News that mentions a member of this genus, newest first.
A long-running climate experiment in an alpine meadow found that which plant species a fungus lives on matters far more than warming or rainfall changes in determining whether that fungus is a potential pathogen. This suggests that as climate change shifts which plants dominate alpine landscapes, that shift (not direct heat or drought stress on fungi) will drive future plant disease risk.
