amorpha

Amorpha canescens was described for science by Frederick Pursh in 1814.

The larvae feed on Amorpha species.

Amorphol, a rotenoid bioside can be isolated from plants of the genus Amorpha.

He described the swirling forms and meandering lines in the studies for "Amorpha, Fugue in Two Colors," for example, in terms of musical instruments.

The name Amorpha means "deformed" in Greek and was given because flowers of this genus only have one petal, unlike the usual "pea-shaped" flowers of the Faboideae subfamily.
