Description:
Sainfoin, Onobrychis viciifolia Scop. (holy grass, holyhay), is a member of the Fabaceae (Leguminosae) family. It is a perennial, non-bloating, forage legume native to regions around the Mediterranean, Black and Caspian Seas and north into Russia. It has been cultivated in Europe as a forage crop for at least 450 years. It was introduced from Turkey into the northern Great Plains of the U.S. in Montana and North Dakota inthe 1960s. From these early introductions, Montana State University released the varieties 'Eski' in 1964 and'Remont' in 1971. Both have and still are being grown successfully in Montana and other western states.
