Coordinator notes: As I responded to the photo you sent directly to me Mary Ann, this is a TELLER COUNTY RECORD. It appears to be in such good condition you have to wonder if is isn't just locally grown? It uses legumes in the genus Cassia do not grown in Colorado so I wonder if it has found another suitable substitute? Nature often finds a way.....great record....only wish I had the specimen! Mike
