Cleomella arborea

Cleomella arborea is a perennial shrub or bush in the spiderflower family (Cleomaceae) known by the common names bladderpod, bladderpod spiderflower, and burro-fat. It grows up to 0.5 - 2 meters (1ft 8in -6ft 7in) high. It stems are densely branching and covered in tiny hairs. Leaves are typically composed of three equal leaflets, 15-45mm long, oval to elliptic, and pointed.

The plant produces bright yellow flowers nearly year-round. Each flower has four petals (8-14 mm long) and six producing stamens. The fruit is a leathery capsule, 30-60mm long, which matures from green to light brown. The plant produces a strong odor that likely deters insects from feeding on it.
