Chamaecrista nictitans from Richard in Oconee County-Westminster

Volunteer in a small bed adjacent to my back yard. South facing, partial shade.

Hi Richard,

your plant is Chamaecrista nictitans, the sensitive partridge pea, a legume. It is a native annual wildflower, rather common in dry soils.

Sincerely,

Dr. Steven Hill, Botanist, SCNPS
