Many thanks Gurcharan ji for validating this ID, even thought helps here. Was not knowing of *Senna polyphylla* earlier. Had labelled it as *Senna biflora* until few days back you put up the keys for these two close species.
Many thanks to you too, Balkar ji for validating the ID. Thank you very much both for appreciating my uploads. Regards.
