Chamaecrista Africana

African ticktree, scientifically known as Chamaecrista africana, is a striking leguminous plant native to the savannas of sub-Saharan Africa. It is characterized by its feathery, compound leaves and vibrant yellow flowers that bloom throughout the dry season. This plant is not only ornamental but also holds cultural and ecological significance in its native habitat. Often found growing along roadsides and in disturbed soils, it thrives in full sun and well-drained conditions. Despite its beauty, it is important to note that some species in the genus Chamaecrista can be invasive in non-native regions.
