Astragalus casei, also known as Case's milkvetch, is a perennial herb found in the Mojave Desert and sky island woodlands of eastern California and western Nevada. It has wiry, branching stems and thin, lance-shaped leaves. The plant produces clusters of pink, lilac, or white flowers and hanging legume pods that are 2-5 cm long. The pods are initially pulpy but dry to a tough texture. This species is an important part of the ecosystem in its native habitat.
