Galega officinalis
''Galega officinalis'', commonly known as galega,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USDA GRIN Taxonomy )〕 goat's-rue, French lilac, Italian fitch,〔 or professor-weed,〔 is an herbaceous plant in the Faboideae subfamily. It is native to the Middle East, but it has been naturalized in Europe, western Asia, and western Pakistan. The plant has been extensively cultivated as a forage crop, an ornamental, a bee plant and as green manure. However, the plant has proved too toxic for widespread agricultural use, with the potential to induce tracheal frothing, pulmonary oedema, hydrothorax, hypotension, paralysis and death.〔Bailey CJ, Campbell IW, Chan JCN, Davidson JA, Howlett HCS, Ritz P (eds). 2007. ''Metformin: the Gold Standard. A Scientific handbook''; Chichester: Wiley. (Chapter 1: Galegine and anti diabetic plants )〕
Its name derives from ''gala'' (milk) and ''ago'' (to bring on), as ''Galega'' has been used as a galactogogue in small domestic animals (hence the name "Goat's rue"). ''Galega bicolor'' is a synonym. It is a hardy perennial that blooms in the summer months.
''G. officinalis'' is used as a food plant by the larva of ''Coleophora vicinella'', a species of moth.
==Distribution==
In 1891, ''G. officinalis'' was introduced to Cache County, Utah, for use as a forage crop. It escaped cultivation and is now a weed and agricultural pest, though it is still confined to that county. As a result it has been placed on the Federal Noxious Weed List in the United States. It was collected in Colorado, Connecticut and New York prior to the 1930s, and in Maine and Pennsylvania in the 1960s, but no more collections have been made in these areas since and the populations are presumed to have died out. It has also been found in Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, and New Zealand.〔
