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.[1][2]
It was first described in 1838 as Psoralea tenax by John Lindley,[3][4] but was reassigned to the genus Cullen in 1996 by James Walter Grimes.[3][5]
