Senna uniflora
Oneleaf senna is a small, somewhat weedy legume native to warm, seasonally dry parts of the Americas, often used as a cover plant to suppress the weed Parthenium. It is grown mainly as a warm-climate groundcover or soil-improving plant rather than as an ornamental houseplant.
Senna uniflora, the oneleaf senna, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is native to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela, and most of Brazil, and has been introduced to India, Mauritius, and Réunion. Although it is somewhat weedy and invasive, it is used to out-compete the pernicious weed Parthenium hysterophorus.
