Yellow Flowers and Pollution


My ignorance is on display today in trying to identify two of the three plants in these first three photos. When I try to get Research Associate Becca involved in the discussion, she just shrugs her shoulders and goes to find a cool place to lie down. This first plant is, I believe, Rough Menodora.

The third plant is Twinleaf Senna; notice the twin leaves?
