This grows wild, looks like a legume and has whitish flowers. It usually grows in places that are moist from time to time. Just wondered what it is.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White

Probably Vetch? If possible, a better closeup of the blooms would be good.

That's the best pic I took...not a very good camera. If I can, I'll go back where they were located soon.

I agree with dave about it being a vetch, but I just can't nail this one down. I looks like the flowers in this pic are very early stage. The appear unopened and compact. a closer picture with the flowers opened might help and maybe a wider shot of the whole plant.

Whew, this is an old thread.
Looks like it might be Crown Vetch Securigera varia, synonym Coronilla varia; listed as invasive in several Texas counties.
