Senna sophera (L.) Roxb. Looks different. Will let you know the species after checking. OK, thanks very much, … for validating.
It will be a great help to get ID corrected.
I have gone by what I recollect about leaflets and placement of flowers. Looking at the pods it is Senna occidentalis. These are common weeds found in Wayanad, Coorg & Mysore area. Common names : Mogdad coffee.
Seeds can be roasted and used as a substitute for coffee. They have also been used as an adulterant for coffee. There is apparently no caffeine in mogdad coffee.
Thank you very much … for pointing to correct ID, along with information.
