Oxytropis owerini 

Oxytropis owerinii whole Oxytropis owerinii close

Our botanical leader gave the specific name as meyeri but it appears this is a synonym for a plant which is reputed mostly to be found in and around the countries of the Caucasus mountains. And that is exactly where we found it. The plant itself was nearly hidden amongst many other species but close-up has some delightful markings on the standard petal.
