Synonyms
The taxonomic history of this plant is extremely confused, even by the standards of Senna and Cassia. S. tora and S. obtusifolia were for long and are often still held to be - and may eventually be verified as - a single species. Hence, taxa referring to either species were indiscriminately applied to both.
- Cassia boreensis
- Cassia borneensis
- Cassia gallinaria
- Cassia numilis
- Apparently a misprint for Cassia humilis, which would have been applied to this species in error as it is properly a synonym of Senna obtusifolia and Chamaecrista kunthiana, depending on the author.
- Cassia tora
- As discussed above, the Cassia tora of other authors refers to Senna obtusifolia
- Cassia tora var. borneensis
- Cassia tora var. b, var. humilis, and var. obtusifolia all refer to Senna obtusifolia
- Emelista tora

Famous quotes containing the word synonyms:
“I am an anarchist in politics and an impressionist in art as well as a symbolist in literature. Not that I understand what these terms mean, but I take them to be all merely synonyms of pessimist.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
