Request for ID 270809GS – indiantreepix | Google Groups: 3 images. looks like Cassia klanii, a wild guess Check for Cassia uniflora-Caesalpinaceae Today I studied this plant.

For ID 080909JM2 : Attachments (2). 9 posts by 2 authors. The picture 8521 is Cassia mimosoides, P047.jpg is Cassia sophera. Thanks, …, Description seems to match at the link of Cassia mimosoides: mdidea, & image at: flickr Cassia mimosoides (Chamaecrista mimosoides) leaves are much longer. See this: Links for Chamaecrista nictitans:
Tropical forages (details with pix),
hear (details with pix),
HEAR (lots of pix).
From the above, I certainly find my post closer to Chamaecrista nictitans. Pl. confirm. Now, I find Chamaecrista nictitans ssp. patellaria var. glabrata at India Biodiversity Portal .
Could anybody pl. confirm it as Chamaecrista nictitans ssp. patellaria var. glabrata ? It is Cassia pumilla, the leaflets are <20 (pairs?) in this plant. But in cassia mimosoides, the leaflets are between 25-40 (pairs?); as both are prostrate there a lot of scope to confuse between the two. A gland is present at the first pair of leaflets is seen in Cassia mimosoides but not in cassia pumilla

Please identify this plant from Sikkim, April – 2015. Looks similar to Cassia mimosoides It is Chamaecrista, but without observing the stamens, and the gland it is difficult to conclude its species. The pod and leaflet number suggest C.pumila. Came across this erect herb with Pinnate leaves on the way to Prabalgad. Could this be some Cassia sp??
