The genus Astragalus of the Fabaceae family includes over 3000 species worldwide and is known as the largest genus of flowering plants. Iran is considered one of the significant centers for the diversity and speciation of this genus. Astragalus ovigerus is documented as an endemic species from Iran. This study explores this species' population characteristics, habitat conditions, and conservation status. According to the guidelines of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the conservation status of this species has been determined using three criteria, including Extent of occurrence (EOO), Area of occupancy (AOO), number of mature individuals, and population size and classified as Critically Endangered (CR). To prevent the extinction of this species, its only known habitat should be protected by the Natural Resources and Watershed Organization, and human activities should be limited in this habitat. Ex-situ conservation through the collection of seeds and their storage in the Gene Bank of Natural Resources of Iran can play an important role in the survival of this rare endemic species and conserving its genetic resources.
