Growth—
Conzattia sericea is native to the semi-arid, subtropical and tropical regions of western Mexico. Although many species within the family Fabaceae have a symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria, this species is said to be devoid of such a relationship and therefore does not fix atmospheric nitrogen[1].
