Amorpha herbacea var. crenulata (Rydb.) Isely | |
Amorpha crenulata is species of a flowering plant, also known as Amorpha herbacea var. crenulata and by the common name crenulate lead-plant. It is native to the southern tip of Florida, where it was listed as endangered in 1985[3] and is currently listed as critically endangered.[1] It only has two wild populations, only found in Fairchild Tropical Gardens and A. D. Barnes Park.[4] A recovery plan for it and other species in Florida was proposed in 1999,[5] but the 2010 assessment found just 200 mature plants.[1] The population is decreasing quickly, with 80% of the population being wiped out in A. D. Barnes between 2010-2023. The species is threatened by fire exclusion and the habitat degradation that occurs as a result.[4]
It is a semi-deciduous flowering shrub with dark green leaflets and multi-colored flowers including white, blue, orange and purple.[6]
