Not Obviously Peas
There are about 17,000 species in about 640 genera in the Pea Family. Lots of them <I>are</I> kind of weedy - White clover, Alsike clover (<I>T. hybridum</I>), Yellow and White Sweet clover (<I>Melilotus officinalis and M. alba</I>), Bird’s-foot trefoil (<I>Lotus corniculatus</I>) - but there are some other eye treats in the family; cousins which don’t look like cousins. Three such species immediately come to mind; Partridge Pea (<I>Chamaecrista fasciculata</I>), Leadplant (<I>Amorpha canescens</I>), and Sensitive Briar (<I>Mimosa quadrivalvis</I>).
