| Description: Stinking Cassia is a small erect hairless, annual to perennial plant that normally grows about 50-150 cm tall, but sometimes growing up to 2.5 m in height. The plant occurs abundantly in open pastures, in pastures under coconuts, mountain slopes, roadsides, wasteland, river bank sands, disturbed sites, waterways and also pastures in wetter tropical and sub-tropical environments. The plant prefers deep, well-drained, moderately fertile sandy loam and tolerates fairly low soil fertilities and moisture levels. True to its name, foetid/stinking cassia has an unpleasant smell. It is broadly spreading with several ascending, hairless branches. The branched, sprawling, stems are usually hairless or sparsely hairy. Leaves Compound leaves of the plant are arranged alternately along the stems and are borne on fairly long petioles which are about 20-45 mm long. 50-75 mm long leaves have about two to four pairs of leaflets that are egg-shaped in outline with narrower end attached to the stalk. Leaflets are 10-55 mm long and 10-35 mm wide and have rounded tips and their margins are lined with tiny hairs. Small elongated structure is usually located between each of the lowest two pairs of leaflets. Leaves give off a strong unpleasant odor, mostly when damaged or brushed against. Flowers The yellow flowers are borne on 6-10 mm long stalks. These flowers are arranged in pairs in the leaf forks and are mostly found near the tips of the branches. Each flower consists of five sepals, five yellow petals (8-10 mm long) and seven fertile stamens with small anthers (1.5-2.5 mm long). Flowering occurs mostly from late summer through to early winter. Fruit & Seed Fertile flowers are followed by a very slender, sickle-shaped pod that is 12-25 cm long and 2-6 mm wide. It is nearly round in cross-section and curved downwards. Fruits are initially green turning to brownish-green as they mature and are slightly concave between each of the seeds (i.e. the pods are slightly separate). There are 30-50 seeds within a pod. Seeds are striped olive and brown about 3 mm long, shiny in appearance, and flattened or irregularly shaped. Stinking Cassia has several uses. The plant and seeds are edible. Young leaves can be cooked as a vegetable while the roasted seeds are used as a substitute coffee. Flowers are added to food in Sri Lanka. It is mixed with guar gum for use in mining and other industrial applications. The seeds and leaves are used to treat skin disease and its seeds can be utilized as a laxative.
