Orbexilum
''Orbexilum'', commonly called leather-root, is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family (Fabaceae). They are native to North America, where they are found in the United States and Mexico, south to Chiapas. This genus can be distinguished from other genera in the Psoraleeae by its "thick glabrous pod walls that are distinctively rugose and by calyx that is scarcely accrescent." Taxonomy The genus was described by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque in 1832, with the type species ''O. latifolia'', moved from ''Psoralea''. (''O. latifolia'' is now considered a synonym A synonym is a word, morpheme, or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase in a given language.

Orbexilum Pedunculatum
''Orbexilum pedunculatum'', commonly known as Sampson's snakeroot, is a species of flowering plant in the legume family. It is native primarily to the Southeastern United States where it is found in prairies and savannas, often in acidic soil. It is a perennial that produces racemes of flowers in early summer. Two varieties have been named, which are sometimes considered distinct species. They are: *''Orbexilum pedunculatum'' var. ''pedunculatum'' – Native to a widespread area west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. *''Orbexilum pedunculatum'' var. ''psoralioides'' – Native primarily to the Atlantic coastal plain. Description ''Orbexilum pedunculatum'' is a herbaceous perennial plant with a long taproot that grows to a height of . The slender stem branches occasionally and is either hairless or slightly downy and bears alternate, trifoliate leaves. The petiole of each leaf is up to long and has a pair of small lanceolate stipules at its base. The leaflets are up to long and wi ...

Orbexilum Stipulatum
''Orbexilum stipulatum'', commonly known as largestipule leather-root or Falls-of-the-Ohio scurfpea, was a flowering plant that was endemic to Rock Island in the Falls of the Ohio; an area of rapids and rocky limestone outcrops in Kentucky's portion of the Ohio River. No live individuals have been found since 1881 and it is presumed to be extinct. Overview ''Orbexilum stipulatum'' is thought to have been associated with large herbivore congregations. Rock Island in the Falls of the Ohio area was the shallowest part of the Ohio River, which historically was heavily used for the migration of American buffalo. The plant's population may have collapsed following the eradication of buffalo. If this factor alone had not extirpated ''Orbexilum stipulatum'' already, Rock Island and the associated rapids were flooded in the 1920s by the creation of US Dam 41, which sealed the fate for ''Orbexilum stipulatum'' at the Falls of the Ohio. Although all searches to rediscover ''Orbexilum stipu ...
