Ornithopus pinnatus, the orange birdsfoot,[4] is a plant in the Fabaceae family.[1] It was first described as Scorpiurus pinnata in 1768 by Philip Miller in The Gardeners Dictionary.[1][5] In 1907, George Claridge Druce assigned it to the genus Ornithopus.[1][2]
It is native to Western Europe, the Mediterranean Region and Macaronesia but is found elsewhere as an introduced species.[6][3][4]
