ya Cassia absus, genus now divided into 3, and this one is placed under genus Senna.. The photographs were taken at my farm at Shahpur but both ... & I failed to identify it. Sending a photograph from a previous year to showcase the difference. This one was identified as such by Dr. Almeida.
26th September 2014 Bangalore outskirts Looks like C. absus but in our area (Uttarakhand) flowers are yellow. This may be a natural variation.
Id please Small herb, 6-9 inch height at Kanakeshwar, Alibag Cassia absus Does not match with images at Chamaecrista absus (L.) H.S.Irwin & Barneby Seems interesting as I did not find any match at comparative images at Senna also. With leaflets 2 pairs it does match C absus. Thanks, ..., Does not match with images at Chamaecrista absus (L.) H.S.Irwin & Barneby May be.. but do all images on this page match each other? Thanks, ... I will check up & let you know, if there is any deviation. This plant is quite familiar to me. Mismatch may be only due to incomplete details seen in other pictures. Images on this post are very clear to suggest the id. Agree. This is C. absus. This plant (especially at Kankeshwar) is seen at the end of the monsoons (September end, October onwards) in the company of Fabaceae flowering / fruiting all around and misleads you with regard to the family itself. Often the flowers are absent or not in bloom and only fruit and leaf are available for examination, both of which can be passed off as belonging to Fabaceae (especially by amateurs / non-botanists). One practical (observational) pointer to C. absus is that the fruit pods are facing in [four] different directions (and almost at the same level) giving a distinct impression of a 'road signpost'.
Here am attaching some images of Chamaecrista absus Syn.- Cassia absus taken on september2018. Id credit ...!! wonderful close ups. any size indicators?
