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] A recovery plan for it and other species in Florida was proposed in 1999,[4] but the 2010 assessment found just 200 mature plants.[1]
