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 and is currently listed as critically endangered. A recovery plan for it and other species in Florida was proposed in 1999, but the 2010 assessment found just 200 mature plants.
It is a semi-deciduous flowering shrub with dark green leaflets and multi-colored flowers including white, blue, orange and purple.
