Groundnut

I have never seen this plant outside of the Indiana Dunes, although it does grow elsewhere and it is said to be invasive. 

The groundnut is a very beautiful and distinctive member of the pea family. It grows tubers that are good to eat and somewhat like peanuts. 

It has been blooming at the Dunes since early August.
