Deciduous, thornless, well-branched shrub, native from central Texas through central Mexico, where it prefers dry hills and canyons. The entire plant, flowers as well as the finely divided leaves, is fragrant. Spikes of white flowers appear off and on from late spring into fall, and are followed by short, tightly spaced bean pods. It is a larval host to the dogface butterfly, and frequently visited by pollinating bees. In our garden, it has proven to be a slow grower, not putting on much height or bulk in its first season.
