It is Cassia sophera L. In Bengali known as Kasundi, sometimes Kalkasundi, as by the great Writer Bibhuti Bhusan Bandopadhaya, the nature lover and the author of Apu- trilogy and other well known Novels, it grows wild particularly in his native place. Poor people in this area eat both young leaves and the yellow flowers after cooking. I had also tasted- great.
