Amorpha
''Amorpha'' is a genus of plants in the pea family, Fabaceae. All the species are native to North America, from southern Canada, most of the United States (US), and northern Mexico. They are commonly known as false indigo.

''Amorpha'' is missing the wing and keel petals. The desert false indigo or indigo bush (''Amorpha fruticosa''), is a shrub that grows from 3 m to 5 m tall.
