a medium-sized evergreen tree, usually growing 10–20 m tall. It is easily recognized by its dense rounded crown, paripinnate leaves with several pairs of glossy green leaflets, and bright yellow flowers borne in large terminal clusters. The fruits are long, flat, dark brown to black pods containing numerous seeds. Native to Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, it has been widely introduced and planted across India as an avenue, ornamental, and shade tree. It is drought-tolerant and valued for its hard wood, fuelwood, and ability to improve soil fertility through nitrogen fixation. However, it is considered an introduced species and has shown invasive tendencies in some parts of India, where it can spread into natural forests and compete with native vegetation. Senna siamea 4
