Astragalus bylowae, Bylov's milkvetch, is a species of milkvetch that is endemic to a single area around Tegh in Armenia. It can be found on steppe-covered slopes at about 1,400 m elevation. It can be differentiated from the related A. ornithopodioides by the shape of its pods and leaflets and very short calyx teeth.^[2] It differs from A. glochideus by its smaller calyx. It is threatened by agricultural expansion and nomadic livestock farming.^[1]
