Baptisia tinctoria (common names include yellow false indigo, wild indigo,[6] wild-indigo[7] and horseflyweed[8]) is a herbaceous perennial plant in the family Fabaceae. It is native to eastern North America.
Baptisia tinctoria is found throughout the eastern United States, west to Minnesota, and south to Florida.[9] As it is rare in some parts of its range, it is protected by some state authorities: in Kentucky it is threatened; in Maine it is considered endangered.[10] It prefers dry meadow and open woodland environments.[11]
