With my woefully inadequate plant identification skills, I have decided that this just might be Psoralea psoralioides, sometimes called Sampson's Snakeroot (though that seems to be the common name for a different though similar plant). I found this growing on the south-facing slope, which makes sense since the references I have found for this say it likes dry conditions. It is another in my continuing discoveries at Roundrock. Though I've been going to my woods for nearly a decade, I'm still finding new things to see. Missouri calendar:
