Fabaceae-Caesalpinioideae (Caesalpiniaceae) week: 111220111-BS-1: senna sp for id from Tirupati area: Senna hirsuta from Guwahati:
Looks like Cassia tora ? It doesn’t look like a cassia leaves. Cassia occidentalis? Please check with Cassia hirsuta. We collected this specimen near Maredumilli MPCA, Andhra Pradesh. I agree with … id, it does look like Senna hirsuta. It looks like Senna hirsuta.
I will attach a picture of the leaf later tonight. Cassia for ID : 260112 : Mumbai : AK-2: May be Senna hirsuta to me it look like Senna occidentalis I think S. occidentalis has neither hairy calyx nor hairy pods. Senna hirsuta has both. Yes i agree, but in the photo here, pod is not mature, have not seen C. hirsuta in MNP till date,, will find out if added to the garden..

TSP-MAY2016-55-383:Images of Senna hirsuta (Fabaceae) : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments (5) It is my pleasure to present a few images of Senna hirsuta (Fabaceae) Habit: Shrub Habitat: Wild, Dry deciduous forest fringe. Sighting: Chikmagalur and Tumkur, Karnataka, about 1200 msl and 800 msl respectively Date: 06-10-2014, 10-11-2014 and 16-11-2014 Cassia for ID 10122011: It may be Senna hirsuta. Perhaps number of leaflets, presence and location of gland/s and size of pod should confirm conclusively. Other things especially stamens and ovary do fit Senna hirsuta. Thanks … and … I had arrived at this ID but plants on efloraofindia labelled under this name do not tally with this, however the link provided does fully agree. Leaflets were 6 pairs but ignored the gland. The pods were terete and densely silky. Six pairs of leaflets further goes in favour of Senna hirsuta Place Agara Lake, HSR layout, Bengaluru
Plant looks very attractive due to yellow flowers and hairy ‘tentacles’ around inflorescence. The leaves bigger at the apex than the base.
Pl. check /species/a—l/f/fabaceae/cassia OK. I will check. I could identify the plant as Senna hirsuta. The tentacle like structures are hairy immature fruits. It also matches with leaves. Three pairs of leaflets, one at the apex being biggest. Thanks, …, You are perfectly right. Pl. see images at
Sorry, I sent you a wrong link earlier. Actually earlier lot of herbarous species in Cassia has been transferred to Senna.
Just to keep you informed about my work, I have incorporated here the slide I have prepared. FOR ID :: ¿ Senna ? ¿ species ? :: Yercaud :: 25 JAN 18 : 3 posts by 2 authors. 9 images.
Yercaud … (literally, lake forest), Tamil Nadu … proper Yercaud … Date: January 25, 2018 … Altitude: about 1,623 m (5324 feet) asl
Not sure whether Senna OR some other genus. Most possibly an escape. Found growing in an untended place among waste. Flower – about 15 – 20 mm across. You may click on the photos to reach photopage in flickr to download the larger original version (or please ask me to provide).
