Cleome angustifolia, known as golden cleome, yellow cleome or yellow mouse whiskers[3], is an African species of plant in the Cleomaceae family. It is common along roadsides and in disturbed areas and is eaten as vegetable locally.[3] Swedish naturalist Peter Forsskål described C. angustifolia in 1775.[1][4] It is one of three species in genus Cleome (the others being C. gynandra and C. oxalidea) that independently acquired the C₄ pathway of carbon fixation. A species close to C. angustifolia, Cleome paradoxa, is C₃–C₄ intermediate.[5]
