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 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
surajit

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

Mahadeswara ji,
Adding one more picture with pods.
Flowers are very tiny, not as big as Cassia javanica.
Hope this picture helps.

Aarti
