Cullen virens is a plant in the Fabaceae family, found only in the north of Western Australia.[1][2]
It is a slender, erect shrub, growing from 2 metres to 4 metres high on lateritic or basaltic soils. Its white and pinkish-purple flowers may be seen from May to October.[2]
It was first described in 1918 as Psoralea virens by William Vincent Fitzgerald,[3][4] but was reassigned to the genus Cullen in 1997 by James Walter Grimes.[3][5]
