Senna obtusifolia (
Chinese senna,
American sicklepod or
sicklepod) is a legume in the genus
Senna, sometimes separated in the monotypic genus
Diallobus. It grows wild in North, Central, and South America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, and is considered a particularly serious weed in many places. It has a long-standing history of confusion with
Senna tora and that taxon in many sources actually refers to the present species.
