I think this species is not *Cleoserrata speciosa** . *It is *Cleome houtteana *Schltdl (=*Cleome hassleriana* Chodat) . Presence of one pair of stipular spine at the base of each petiole of the leaf and spines in the midrib of abaxial surface of leaflets is prominent ; flower pink to whitish in colour (after examination of the species). In Assamese it is known as Siyalkatahiya. So please validate. With regard Karuna Kanta Das
