United States Department of Agriculture Office of Information (Oxytropis lambertii) (close-up) This is one of five species of locoweed found in the western range states. Animals become nervous, jerky in their movements, and generally wild after feeding on the plants, hence the name loco. (In Spanish loco means crazy) Locoweeds are perennials and belong to the pea family. June 1956 N16046 Credit USDA Photo [this is stamped twice, the second stamp is cut off on the left side]
