They have a rather unpleasant fragrance, which tends to permeate the whole area when in bloom. The leaves are elongated, with smooth edges and grow in five to seven clusters along the stem.

Can anyone help me put a name to this stuff?
Groundnut perhaps? Google 'apios americana' for some pictures and info.
