Senna uniflora

Senna uniflora, the oneleaf senna, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae.[2] It is native to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela, and most of Brazil, and has been introduced to India, Mauritius, and Réunion.[1] Although it is somewhat weedy and invasive, it is used to out-compete the pernicious weed Parthenium hysterophorus.[3]
