About Ornithopus pinnatus (Mill.) Druce
Ornithopus pinnatus, commonly known as orange birdsfoot, is a plant species that belongs to the legume family Fabaceae. It was first formally described in 1768 by Philip Miller in *The Gardeners Dictionary*, under the name Scorpiurus pinnata. In 1907, George Claridge Druce reclassified this species and moved it to the genus Ornithopus, establishing its current scientific name Ornithopus pinnatus (Mill.) Druce. This plant is native to Western Europe, the Mediterranean Region, and Macaronesia, but it also occurs as an introduced species in other regions outside its native range.
