Rattlebox


Name: Rattlebox (sesbania drummondii) (daubentonia texana) leguminosae
Location found: big branch
Habitat: Fresh marsh

The plant produces clusters of yellow sweet-pea like flowers that turn into pods that have four wings. Each contain three to six seeds, these seeds are almost never eaten by wildlife. Also the leaves have an repulsive odor so the wildlife also tend to avoid this as well.
