Close to Cassia laevigata. It also somewhat resembles Senna sophera http://www.flowersofindia.SopheraSenna.html It may be Senna septemtrionalis (Viv.)

Senna septemtrionalis (Viv.) H.S.Irwin & Barneby; SN April 14, : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments(2). Senna septemtrionalis (Viv.) H.S.Irwin & Barneby, (= Cassia laevigata Willd., Adipera laevigata (Willd.) Britton & Wilson), Fam : Caesalpiniaceae, Wild shrub in Ooty hill station, Tamilnadu. Date/Time : 23rd of October, 2008/ 10.02 AM Location Place : Kodaikanal … Altitude : 2100 meters … GPS : Habitat : Wild … Type : Is this any species of Cassia sp? Could be Senna sophera. Thank you … its indeed Senna sophera (L.) Roxb. I really forgot the name thanks for making me remember again. Decidedly a Senna (formerly Cassia), possibly S. ligustrina. Can you please tell me why are u suggesting Senna ligustrina instead of S sophera? I don’t the difference between the two kindly update me if possible. I am not familiar with S. sophera. S. ligustrina has similarly shaped leaflets, is common locally in FL (USA). If the former is more common, I will differ to the local species and experts familiar with it. this doesnt seems to Senna sophera. I have also observed this shrub from Kodai kanal. the fruit are cylindric abt 10 cm long, but it is definately not S. sophera. please find some pic of the fruit and leaf. Attachments (4) Looks like Senna sophera only! http://www.flowersofindia.SopheraSenna.html Yes … this is Senna sophera. just go to the description from the above link “The larger leaves are 7-18 cm long, usually with 6-8 pairs of leaflets, the largest blades are lancelike or ovate-acuminate and up to 7 x 2 cm“. where as our plant has only 3 pairs of leaflets the plant in this link seems to be misidentified. please check out following link for senna sophera i have collected senna sophera from Mumbai. pls find a few pic of those the plant in question seems to be very different (also check Cooke flora where the leaf lets are 6-10 pairs). If anyone has access to Dr.V.Singh’s ‘Monograph on Indian Subtribe Cassiinae (Caesalpiniaceae)’, the plant will be easily identified without any ambiguity. The keys are very simple and easy that with any stage of plant, you can identify it correctly! Is it possible to find the correct id for this Cassia from Kodaikanal? This was posted a long ago on Eflora. The plant in question is Senna occidentalis (L.) Link. Cassia occidentalis is the synonym. This was a very long pending post of mine. I am so glad to have finally got the id. Thanks a lot for the efforts taken. Thanks for revisiting this thread. Thanks for a possible id. You experts kindly decide and let me know. I am completely confused. If your picture and the pictures of … are of same species it is Senna septemtrionalis (Viv.) H.S.Irwin & Barneby It is also found in Uttarakhand and young pods are used as vegetable. The flowers have more resemblance to S.occcidentalis. Even the leaves shape looks like that. However, it is very difficult to confirm my ID in view of the opinion of other two taxonomy experts. Need to check few more aspects like the full view of the foliage, leaves, fruits etc. before arriving at a proper ID. Let us wait. May I request you to forward this posting to Prof. Narasimhan, Professor of Taxonomy, Madras Christian College, who is an authority on Tamil Nadu flora. His email ID is : ... I donot know whether he would respond, since he is a very busy person. Try any how. I used to interact with him personally when I was in Chennai. Thanks for possible ids. Unfortunately, I have only one picture and haven’t checked … pictures. Cassia floribunda Cav.; Descr. 132, 1802 from Morni Hill Area I think close to images at Senna septemtrionalis (Viv.)
