But on a more rational analysis it could belong to any of the following *Chamaescrista absus:* Annual herb up to 1 m tall; pod 3-6 cm long, 4-8 mm broad, elastically coiling; pedicel with bracteoles; leaflets 1-4 cm long, 1-3 cm broad; stamens usually 5, subequal
*Senna bacillaris: Shrub or tree up to 8 m tall; p*od 15-27 cm long, 9-15 mm broad, not coiling; pedicel without bracteoles; leaflets 5-16 cm long, 2-7 cm broad; stamens 9-10. I would tend to go with Chamaecrista absus -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
