Re-posting separately with one plant per mail.
"Hi,
Can someone please help identify the following?
The first three were seen in the Adyar Poonga and the last two at the
PWD park in Kotturpuram, Chennai.
The last two picture are the same plant. I thought it resembled
Datura, but am not sure.
Thanks
Chithra"

Reply from Muthu Karthick ji:
"yes, this plant is Senna auriculata. You could see the auricle [Ear-shaped] shaped stipules on the leaf base, which is the characteristic feature of this particular species."
