कास्सिया फिस्तुला;although it is native to India's forests we see large trees rarely at present and the crown is generally not well developed.this species is seen in the foothills in Himalayas.
This tree with a well grown crown is found in L.V.Prasad Eye Hospital in Hyderabad ,India.The tree is at the entrance gate and adds beauty to the main building; it is in flower for three months from April to June.This photo was taken in the last week of June 2007.
