Mystery Monday - Name That Shrub!

Last week's tree was Argania spinosa, the Argan tree. Congrats to Leslie and Karen. As Karen mentioned, they've created a reserve where these trees can grow, protected from harvesting and climbing goats. They export the oil to help support it all. Such a neat tree.

Your clues for this week:

1. This shrub is a member of the Fabaceae (Legume) family.
2. Some classify it as a subshrub.
3. The common name will remind you of another member of the Fabaceae family, which is found in many lawns. I used to collect the flowers to make chains when I was a little girl.

Good luck!
