Senna shrubs used to be classified as members of the genus Cassia spp, within the pulse family, Leguminosae. A more correct classification is considered within their own genus, Senna spp, within the bean family, Fabaceae. As is the case with other family members, senna shrubs are nitrogen fixers. That means that they add to soil fertility by making nitrogen available to the soil and its food web members. They're shape shifters in the variety of forms that their species members offer as herbs, small trees, sub shrubs, or vines. They're sources of ingredients in Thai cuisine and medicine, and of yellow splashes of color in private and public gardens. They're survivors of temperate climates even though they're native to the tropics.
