: I have a catalog that sells senna alexandria (that's written as the: latin name...) Is this the same as cassia obovata? (sp?)

They're different species ..............
I had to give up and get the whole leaves from botany suppliers, and
start from there. That's the only way I was able to figure out what
the hell whas what.
Senna Alexandria = Senna Tinnevely = Cassia Alexandria
Senna Alata = Cassia Alata
Senna (for hair) = Cassia Obovata
Heck, there's only 400 cassia species.
