Fabaceae-Caesalpinioideae (Caesalpiniaceae) Week: Query about Senna sophera var. purpurea: whereas this aspect is not mentioned in flora of British India. The illustration of eFlora of Pakistan shows 4 pairs of leaflets. It also lists fruit length as 5-7.5 cm as against 9-10 cm in C. sophera.
I doubt got further confirmed when I saw this illustration of C. purpurea clearly showing 7-8 pairs of leaflets.
