'''''Caragana''''' is a genus of about 80 species of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Fabaceae]], native to [[Asia]] and eastern [[Europe]].
They are [[shrub]]s or small [[tree]]s growing 1-6 m (3-20 ft) tall. They have even-pinnate [[leaf|leaves]] with small leaflets, and solitary or clustered mostly yellow (rarely white or pink) flowers and bearing seeds in a linear pod.
''Caragana'' species are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species including [[Dark Dagger]].
