It looks like there is confusion in the nomenclature. As per FoC <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242334759>, *Ormocarpum senÂnoides* (Willd.) DC. is a synonym of *Ormocarpum cochinchinense* (Lour.) Merr.
But according to ILDIS, both are accepted names and both the species are present in India: *Ormocarpum cochinchinense* (Lour.) Merr. <http://www.ildis.org/LegumeWeb?version~10.01&LegumeWeb&tno~16817&genus~Ormocarpum&species~cochinchinense> - *India*: Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal *Ormocarpum sennoides* (Willd.) DC. <http://www.ildis.org/LegumeWeb?version~10.01&LegumeWeb&tno~1392&genus~Ormocarpum&species~sennoides> - *India*: Andhra Pradesh <http://www.ildis.org/LegumeWeb?version%7E10.01&LegumeWeb&tno%7E1392&genus%7EOrmocarpum&species%7Esennoides#7>, Goa, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Orissa, Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu An another record of ILDIS <http://www.ildis.org/LegumeWeb?version~10.01&LegumeWeb&tno~1393&genus~Ormocarpum&species~cochinchinense> suggests that *Ormocarpum cochinchinense* auct. non (Lour.) Merr. is a misapplied name for *Ormocarpum sennoides* (Willd.) DC. subsp. *sennoides* (Willd.) DC. So, we may tentatively call this posted plant from Kerala as *Ormocarpum sennoides* (Willd.) DC. until this confusion is sorted out.
