The King's crown is a Leguminosae plant that blooms from May to August.

Lotoides subspecies can reach two feet in height, it is more robust than minimum Coronilla subsp. minimum. that hardly reaches 30 cm.
is a toxic plant, it just happens to digital, its seeds contain glycosides that act on the heart. Flowers formerly used in poultices to expel flatus. However, their use for medicinal purposes is completely discouraged.
Some of the websites consulted in the preparation of this article, Coronilla lotoides considered harmful to livestock, although it is said that usually serves as forage for it.
appreciate the collaboration of Juan Ramon Vazquez, http://www.biodiversidadvirtual.org/herbarium/ user in identifying the plant.
