Tephrosia Sylviae
''Tephrosia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It is widespread in both the Eastern and Western Hemisphere, where it is found in tropical and warm-temperate regions. The generic name is derived from the Greek word τεφρος (''tephros''), meaning "ash-colored," referring to the greyish tint given to the leaves by their dense trichomes. Hoarypea is a common name for plants in this genus, along with goat's rue and devil's shoestring. Uses Many species in the genus are poisonous, particularly to fish, for their high concentration of rotenone. The black seeds of ''Tephrosia'' species have historically been used by indigenous cultures as fish toxins.Hugh Scott, ''In the High Yemen'', London 1942, p. 238, note C.NTFlora Northern Territory Flora online:''Flora of the Darwin Region: Fabaceae.''Retrieved 10 June 2018 In the last century, several ''Tephrosia'' species have been studied in connection with the use of rotenone as an insecticide and pesticide.

Tephrosia Virginiana
''Tephrosia virginiana'', also known as goat-rue, goat's rue, catgut, rabbit pea, Virginia tephrosia, hoary pea, and devil's shoestring is a perennial dicot in family Fabaceae. The plant is native to central and eastern North America. Description This subshrub is low and bushy, growing to , but more often shorter. Its leaves are alternate and compound, usually with 8 to 15 pairs of narrow, oblong leaflets. Soft white hairs on the leaves and the stem give them a silvery, or hoary, appearance. The flowers look similar to other flowers in the pea family and are bi-colored, with a pale yellow or cream upper petal (the standard), and pink petals on the bottom (the keel and wings). The flowers are grouped into clusters at the top of the stems and bloom from May to August. The seed pods that form after the flowers bloom are small, approximately long. The roots are long and stringy, which is probably the source of the common names catgut and devil's shoestrings. Distribution and h ...
