Please check for the most distinguishing character of C .nodosa i.e. there are ten yellow stamens, the longest three having a round swelling in the middle.  That is why the name nodosa.   If it is positive then it is Cassia javanica ssp. nodosa  ( as per theplantlist).  C.nodosa is a synonym of C.j. ssp.n.

[Aarti S. Khale]

Mahadeswara ji,

Thanks for the distinguishing characters which will help in id.

I will try to get a close up of the flower.

Regards,

Aarti

Aarti Ji,

Your plant looks nearly - http://www.flickr.com/photos/jehane-ramola/5777336784/ and the pic in the link clearly shows nodes on three stamens as per key by Mahadeswara Ji.

But, it is interesting to note while "Bengal Plants", FBI & FI inform that flowers of Cassia nodosa Ham, (Cassia javanica subsp. nodosa) are pink, FoC informs they are yellow - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242311362 !!!

According to FBI, no. of leaflets 6 to 12 pairs.

Thank you

Regards

This is not C.javanica ssp.nodosa.   Hence,  this could be C.javanica  provided the other vegetative characters tally.

[Aarti S. Khale]

Mahadeswara ji,

Adding one more picture with pods.

Flowers are very tiny, not as big as Cassia javanica.

Hope this picture helps.

Regards,

Aarti
