Psoralea
Psoralea is a genus in the legume family (Fabaceae). It includes the subgenus Psoralea subg. Pediomelum (Rydb.) Ockendon, also treated as genus Pediomelum.[1] Although most species are poisonous, the starchy roots of P. esculenta (breadroot, tipsin, or prairie turnip) and P. hypogaea are edible. A few species form tumbleweeds.
