Here is a reply from Padmini Raghavan ji <[email protected]>: "I am not a botanist but the link showed a plant with much smaller leaves. Is it really a Senna spectabilis? Sorry to doubt your opinion but please do confirm the diagnosis. Padminil"
Here is the desc. from one of the links: "Leaves alternate, up to 40 cm, compound (pinnate) with 4-15 (max. 19) pairs of leaflets, each up to 7.5 cm; petiole 3-4 cm; rachis 10-20 cm (max. 35); stipules paired, threadlike, linear falcate, early caducous, about 1 cm long, without glands; leaflets narrowly elliptic, 3-7 x 1-2 cm (the lowermost petal usually much smaller and early caducous); base rounded, apex acute, mucronate; margin entire, upper surface glabrous, dull green and almost hairless, with many slightly sunken side veins; lower surface dull light green and soft hairy, sometimes hairless; petiolule short, about 3 mm long.
