Senna didymobotrya
It is a hairy, aromatic shrub usually growing up to about five meters tall but known to reach nine meters at times. The leaves are up to half a meter long and are made up of many pairs of elongated oval leaflets each up to 6.5 centimeters long. The plant has a strong scent which has been variously described as being reminiscent of mice, wet dog, peanut butter, and burnt popcorn.The plant flowers plentifully in racemes of bright yellow flowers, with some flowers also occurring in leaf axils.

I spotted this bush growing in Kakamega national park. Very strange common name. I wish I would have smelt it to see if it's true.
