Horseshoe Vetch

From LoveToKnow Garden

Horseshoe Vetch (Hippocrepis Comosa) - A small prostrate British plant, with pretty little deep-yellow flowers, in coronilla-like crowns, the upper petal faintly veined with brown, the pinnate leaves small and leaflets smooth. It is a capital little plant for the upper ledges of rocks in dry positions, as in such places the shoots will fall down some 18 or 20 inches; it is easily raised from seed; partial to chalky soils; and is rather common in the south of England, but not a native of Ireland or Scotland.
