Trigonella glabra is a perennial legume native to the Middle East and North Africa. In Qatar, it has been found growing in sandy areas and coastal dunes, often as part of a community with other desert plants. The species can thrive in poor soil conditions due to its nitrogen-fixing abilities. Studies have identified this plant in various regions across Qatar, showcasing its adaptability and ecological role within the country's arid environments.
