Factorovskya aschersoniana

Factorovskya aschersoniana is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae.
Medicago hypogaea I know it as Factorovskya aschersoniana - such a tiny flower with such a l...o...n...g name, carrying 2 distinguished botanists on its miniscule shoulders... but they changed it to medick, so now it's much simpler.

Naming

Described first in 1882 by Urban as Trigonella aschersoniana (after the German researcher P.F.A. Ascherson). Raised to an autonomous genus by Eig (1927) who named it after Eliezer Factorovsky, his friend-colleague botanist. In his monograph on Trigonella and Medicago Ernie Small (1984) transferred it to the genus Medicago and named it Medicago hypogaea E. Small
