Vuralia is a monotypic genus belonging to subfamily Faboideae of the legume family, Fabaceae, endemic to the area surrounding lakes Akşehir and Eber in southwestern Türkiye.[2] It has a chromosome number of 2n = 18.[1] The single species Vuralia turcica was discovered by Turkish botanists in 1982 and is found only on the shores of lakes Akşehir and Eber. The species is critically endangered, being on the verge of extinction in its native range. The local names of this species translate as Eber yellow and yellow licorice. V. turcica was formerly placed in the genus Thermopsis.[3][4]
