Senna, the sennas, is a large genus of flowering plants in the legume family (Fabaceae, subfamily Caesalpinioideae,[2] tribe Cassieae ser. Aphyllae [3]). This diverse genus is native throughout the tropics, with a small number of species in temperate regions. The number of species is estimated to be from about 260[4] to 350.[5] The type species for the genus is Senna alexandrina. About 50 species of Senna are known in cultivation.[6]
