Marina
Marina is a genus in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes 40 species native to southern North America, ranging from California and New Mexico through Mexico and Central America to Costa Rica. They are known as the false prairie clovers. Unlike the related prairie clovers (genus Dalea), which bear two ovules per fruit (with typically only one fully maturing to become a viable seed), false prairie clovers bear only one ovule per fruit.
