Looks like Senna obtusifolia from wikipedia. I see them sold in small bags in TCM shops. It's used in herbal medicine in Asia.

What do you use it for?

EDIT: When I go to Chinese Wikipedia, it says Cassia obtusifolia. Probably just a reclassification. Cassia humilis also redirects to the same English entry.

I’m not going to plant these as they are apparently invasive. I have no idea where these came from! Thank you so much for your help.
