Senna bauhinioides, the twinleaf senna, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae.[2] It is native to the US states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, and to northern Mexico, and it has been introduced to the US state of Maryland.[1] An opportunistic species, it is unpalatable to livestock, so its presence is considered an indicator of overgrazing.[3]
