Does anyone know what this is? My next door neighbour gave it to me,
and she doesn't know what it is either. Thanks.

Looks like a vetch (Vicia sp) to me.

If you like each other it may be galega if not its a vetch!

Galega is odd-pinnate (with a single terminal leaflet), while Vicia is
even-pinnate with a terminal tendril (or reduced tendril).

Assuming it's something native, which may not be wise, it looks rather
like tufted vetch (Vicia cracca), but I'm not sure of that
identification. Similar species, fide Stace, are fine-leaved vetch and
Danzig vetch.

My guess is Goats Rue.

We have this in our garden and have always known it as galega (which is
sometimes called Goats Rue).

It is a hardy perennial which grows to 3-4 feet. Cut down in autumn or early
spring. In windy conditions it does tend to blow over (and cover everything
else around). Every year I say I will stake it in spring and every year I
forget
