Senna lindheimeriana, the velvet leaf senna, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae.[2][3][4] It is native to the US states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, and to eastern Mexico.[1] A perennial typically 1.5 m (5 ft) tall, it is hardy to USDA zone 8a, and is recommended for xeriscaping and for feeding birds, butterflies and bumblebees.[4][3] It is thought to be lethally toxic to livestock, but is so foul-smelling and unpalatable that only starving mammals will consume it.[5]
