Description

Fast-growing shrubs from the old and new world, this particular variety is known as the Buttercup Tree and is characterised by butter- yellow clusters of 3.8 cm. (1.5 inches) flowers.

It flowers around Easter and is considered a weed in the sense that it grows on the borders of the re-growth frontier in tropical growth areas. It is a native of tropical America; however, there are several native Australian Cassias, more particularly suited to dry districts.

Doctrine of Signatures

The flower has three heart-shaped petals, which form the ‘top’ of the flower and two cup-like petals completing the circle, making up five petals in all.

From the centre, two yellow anthers looking like arms reach out in a supportive embrace, upholding the heart. Between these two, a single green stigma projects outwards and upwards, calling energy back to the heart.

At the very centre of the flower, a globe-like arrangement (reminiscent of an energy-saving globe) protrudes forward, topped by three miniature heart-shaped clusters that echo the heart-shaped petals directly above them.

The centre is green and the petals are a clear bright yellow.

This genus produces the senna pods of medicine, the properties of which are purgative. They prompt an urgent, complete bowel evacuation.
