I wonder whether this should be Senna sulfurea (4-6 pairs of leaflets; leaves 15-30 cm long; stalk of fruit 10-20 mm long) or Senna surattensis (leaflets 6-9 pairs; leaves 10-15 cm long; stalk of fruit 6-7 mm long). I wonder if we really have true Senna surattensis in India. I would be happy if some one uploads one.
