Loment
A Loment is a type of modified Legume that breaks apart at constrictions occurring between the segments of the Seeds. Being a legume, it is dry at maturity and is dehiscent, meaning that it will split open at maturity.
Tick trefoil (Desmodium) and sweet vetch (Hedysarum) are two genera that exhibit this Fruit type, which is found particularly in the Hedysareae tribe of the Family Fabaceae, with the exception of the peanut.
A closer look at the photo above shows another typical characteristic of members of the Pea Family, to belabor the obvious, they produce pea pods. In our mystery Plant, the pods are not cylindrical as in string beans or snap peas, but are long and flattened with the peas separated into "Loments"--segments that contain one seed each. The photo below provides a better look.
One fertilized flower on our mystery plant will produce 3-5 Loments that start out being pale green and transected by darker green veins that bring nutrients to the peas as they develop. A second photo (below) uses backlighting to reveal the immature peas, i.e., the seeds of the plant that show as dark shadows at the center of each Loment. As the peas mature, the skin of the Loments becomes dark green and leathery, and the constricted area between them turns brown and becomes brittle.
