Another sort of Twinpod

These twinpods were everywhere at one of our recent camps on the Colorado Plateau.  We arrived at the end of the seasonal bloom so most of the plants only had the seedpods.  This one, however, has both flowers and pods!  It was growing very close to the access road I was using and I nearly parked right on top of it.  Sometimes you just get lucky.  Normally, I try to give the full common name and the Latin name, but I have to use a guide to identify this sort of stuff and it wasn't very helpful.  Botany wasn't an elective at my art school, either, so I'm kind of stuck.  Chime in with a comment if you have any ideas.
