Thermopsis villosa (Walter) Fernald & B.G. Schub. Carolina lupine, Carolina bushpea, Aaron’s rod, bush pea, false lupine, thermopsis
Carolina lupines are native to the southeasttern United States. These plants are not true lupines, but the flower stalks look much like those of lupines. In fact, Thermopsis comes from the Greek thermos, or "lupine"; and opsis, "like."[1] Villosa means "with hairs." Identification: Plants are 3-5' (91-152 cm) tall × 24-36" (60-91 cm) around, and hairy. Leaves are in groups of three, elliptic or top-shaped. (These are easily distinguished from true lupines, which have palmlike rosettes of leaflets.) Yellow flowers form on stalks up to 12" (30 cm) long. Fruits are hairy pods. Online References:
