Seen growing wild near a lake on 30th Oct.
This could be the American Joint Vetch [Aeschynomene americana] - a exotic weed.
Thanks for the suggested id of this plant.
I think you posted a similar plant recently from the same location. is it same or different ?
That was a couple of years ago. Probably Aeschynomeme aspera.
This was the suggested id. Not yet validated. 
Found these pictures taken earlier, of the same plant, at the same location earlier. Attachments (2)
