About

Amorpha georgiana, the Georgia false indigo, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to southeastern North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia in the United States. A rare subshrub, it is found in the endangered longleaf pine ecosystem, and, like most species there, is fire‑adapted. Fire suppression is a major threat to A. georgiana.
