Interesting info:

wikipedia uses a different name (this often happens)

Chamaecrista fasciculata (Partridge Pea) a) is a species of legume native to most of the eastern United States. ... It thrives in areas that have been burned recently, but will decline in numbers in the years following a fire. It is considered an excellent choice for planting in disturbed areas, as it will quickly cover an area, preventing erosion, and decline as other plants become established. It is also grown as an ornamental or for honey production.
