Description
The potential for pasture or crop improvement of legume species native to Queensland, Australia is discussed. The most promising genera are Cajanus, Desmodlum, Glycine, Psoralea, Sesbanla and Vigna. Genera endemic to Australia offer little immediate scope for use in pasture or crop improvement. Some species, particularly in the genera Acacia, Crotalaria, Gastroloblum, Indigofera and Neptunia, can be toxic to livestock.
