Very unique type of pods. Is it THE character for ID?

I have a doubt regarding the species of this plant.

How is it different from Ormocarpum cochinchinense.

It looks like there is confusion in the nomenclature.
As per FoC, Ormocarpum sen­noides (Willd.) DC. is a synonym of Ormocarpum cochinchinense (Lour.) Merr.

But according to ILDIS, both are accepted names and both the species are present in India:

Ormocarpum cochinchinense (Lour.) Merr. - India:   Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal
Ormocarpum sennoides (Willd.) DC. - India:   Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Orissa, Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu

An another record of ILDIS suggests that Ormocarpum cochinchinense auct. non (Lour.) Merr. is a misapplied name for Ormocarpum sennoides (Willd.) DC. subsp. sennoides (Willd.) DC.

So, we may tentatively call this posted plant from Kerala as Ormocarpum sennoides (Willd.) DC. until this confusion is sorted out.

Thank you very much for this clarification Vijaya sir.
