(1983) Vuralia is a monotypic genus belonging to subfamily Faboideae of the legume family, Fabaceae, endemic to the area surrounding lakes Akşehir and Eber in southwestern Türkiye.

[3][4] V. turcica has a stout rhizome giving rise to top growth of upright habit 30–80 cm in height, bearing stems and trifoliate leaves clad in long, soft hairs and clustered yellow flowers in a terminal racemose inflorescence.

The genus is named in honour of Turkish botanist Mecit Vural of Gazi University by Uysal and Ertuğrul, Vuralia being a Latinised form of his surname.

[1] The habitat of V. turkica has sustained damage due to the desiccation of lakes Akşehir and Eber and the herb itself has been largely eradicated as a weed by farmers in the region.

However, the plant is neither widely consumed by herbivores nor exploited for medicinal / pharmaceutical purposes by humans and is able to increase vegetatively by the spread of the fleshy rhizomes, these factors furnishing some defence against possible extinction.
