Senna roemeriana, the twoleaf senna, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to the US states of New Mexico and Texas, and to northern Mexico.[1][2] A perennial of limestone soils and typically 18 in (46 cm) tall, it is toxic to livestock, particularly goats and sheep, but they avoid consuming it with proper range management.[3]
