Question
I found a patch of this growing in the woods beside a narrow path in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Browsing the site I found Amphicarpaea bracteata with similar flowers and leaves.
Answer
Dear jfc, this plant is Amphicarpaea bracteata (hog-peanut), a native vine in the legume family. It produces both aerial open-pollinated flowers and subterranean self-pollinated flowers.
