Gurcharan ji,

Was not comfortable with *Senna sulfurea* because of the non-conforming
aspects that I pointed out with regards to the leaflets.


Leaflets in my posted plant: sessile, apex pointed, 5 to 7 pairs, mostly 6
... clavate glands between each, and all pairs.

In *S. sulfurea* at Flora of
China<http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242348618>,
described to have clavate glands between each of lowest 2 pairs of leaflets
leaflet apex obtusely rounded or inconspicuously emarginate,
Illustration<http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=117005&flora_id=2>of
*S. sulfurea* shows petiolulate leaflets.


Thus after re-searching cultivated species of Cassia and Senna, have come
across Senna multiglandulosa (Jacq.) H. S. Irwin & Barneby

My strong feeling, my posted plant must be *Senna multiglandulosa* (Jacq.)
H. S. Irwin & Barneby.
Requesting you to reconsider.


Mahadeswara ji ... *Cassia surattensis* subsp. *glauca* (Lam.) K.Larsen &
S.S.Larsen is a synonym of *Senna sulfurea* (Collad.) H.S.Irwin & Barneby
