Code Sample, a copy-pastable example

import matplotlib as mpl
import numpy as np

import pandas as pd

CMAP = "viridis"
df = pd.DataFrame(
    [[5.1, 3.5], [4.9, 3.0], [7.0, 3.2], [6.4, 3.2], [5.9, 3.0]],
    columns=["length", "width"],
)
df["species"] = ['r', 'r', 'g', 'g', 'b']
df.plot.scatter(
    x=0, y=1, c="species", cmap=CMAP,
)

Problem description

This produces
image

The colorbar to the right of the plot doesn't make any sense here

Expected Output

Same plot, but without the colorbar

Output of pd.show_versions()
