Cullen tenax
Also called Emu Foot
Cullen tenax, commonly known as emu foot, is a herbaceous, perennial shrub. Often found in forest or on heavy soils in medium to low rainfall areas in south eastern Australia.
It was first described in 1838 as Psoralea tenax by John Lindley, but was reassigned to the genus Cullen in 1996 by James Walter Grimes.
