Descrição morfológica (from Wikipédia e Flora Digital de Portugal):
Anthyllis is a genus of plants in the family Fabaceae. This genus contains both herbaceous and shrubby species and is distributed in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. The most widespread and familiar species is Kidney Vetch (A. vulneraria) which is a familiar grassland flower throughout the region and has also been introduced to New Zealand.
Anthyllis species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the following case-bearers of the genus Coleophora: C. acanthyllidis, C. protecta (both feed exclusively on A. tragacanthoides), C. hermanniella (feeds exclusively on A. hermanniae), C. vestalella (feeds exclusively on A. cytisoides) and C. vulnerariae (feeds exclusively on A. vulneraria).

Anthyllis is little known today but was traditionally used to relieve spasms, detoxify, reduce swelling, and promote wound healing.
Elisabeth Sigmund rediscovered anthyllis, finding it normalized both oily and dry conditions as well as severely irritated skin. Anthyllis has a generally stimulating and normalizing effect on the skin.
