Coinvine (Dalbergia ecastaphyllum, Fabaceae)
Native
I found a few of these plants growing around the parking lot. They caught my eye because the toothed leaves reminded me of witch hazel, not something I expected here. On closer inspection, the toothed margins turned out to be the result of insect damage. The coin-like seed capsules littering the ground underneath confirmed it as coinvine.

Usually this plant is found in large colonies; however, this one was all alone. It's a reproductively aggressive plant; new plants spring up from the leaves. The plant is also known as "Mother of Thousands."
