Formerly this genus was placed in the Scrophulariaceae (figwort) family.
It looks like a pea, but is, in fact, a snap dragon. The multi-colored version, Chinese houses, is much more common.
I’ve only seen one plant, on the back side of Arroyo Burro trail. It was blooming in June, but I suspect it started blooming in April when Chinese Houses did.
Note the recurled leaves.
