| Seen roadside. About 2 ft. tall. Making pods that look like fat brown snow peas, with shiny black seeds. The foliage in the forefront on the left also belongs to this plant. TIA! |

| The pods looked explosive, although molesting ripe-looking ones didn't cause any to burst. They curled up like this after opening. |

| I think you may be right, maybe Baptisia sphaerocarpa? Was only aware of the blue/purple one. 'Twould be cool if I found a native. I just can't find any pics that look identical... |

| I do believe it is Baptisia sphaerocarpa. Not as popular in the landscape; a few varieties float around our nursery. I prefer the blue. But love my legumes!!! |

| Thank you. Here are the seeds. Hard to find pics of seeds on the WWW. Do they look like B. sphaerocarpa? |

| I'll throw this one in, have a look at Crotalaria spectabilis. |

| I agree with Thedecoguy. The seeds look like C. spectablis and the foliage is not the right color or texture for baptisia which is a smooth leaf with a blue-green color. |

| If Crotalaria spectabilis then it is non-native. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Crotalaria spectabilis

| Yes, that's a better match, identical as far as I can tell. Thanks, folks, I'd call this solved. |
