'''''Senna artemisioides''''' is a [[flowering plant]] in the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Fabaceae]]. It is commonly known as '''Silver Cassia'''<ref>http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Senna~artemisioides</ref> or '''Feathery Cassia'''<ref>http://cals.arizona.edu/pima/gardening/aridplants/Cassia_artemisioides.html</ref> - although "cassia" generally refers to the largest-growing [[Cassiinae]]. Some of its distinct [[subspecies]] also have common names of their own. This is a shrub that grows up to 3 metres in height. It has pinnate leaves with between 1 and 8 pairs of leaflets. It produces an abundance of yellow flowers in winter and spring which are about 1.5 cm in diameter, followed by 2 to 7 cm long flat green pods which age to dark brown. The species adapts to a wide range of climatic conditions, although it is susceptible to frost, particularly when young. It prefers dry, well drained sites with full sun. As an [[ornamental plant]], it is propagated readily from seed, which should first be soaked in boiling water.<ref>http://asgap.org.au/s-art.html|title=''Senna artemisoides''</ref> ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== The species was first described and placed in ''[[Cassia (genus)|Cassia]]'', but nowadays it has been moved to ''[[Senna (genus)|Senna]]''. However, for a long time this plant was erroneously known as ''[[Cassia eremophila]]'' which is a true species of ''Cassia'' called [[Desert Cassia]], described by [[Julius Rudolph Theodor Vogel]]{{wp}}. A large number of formerly independent species are provisionally considered [[subspecies]] of ''S. artemisioides''{{wp}}: * ssp. ''alicia'' Randell * ssp. ''artemisioides'' * ssp. ''filifolia'' Randell * ssp. ''helmsii'' (Symon) Randell – '''Blunt-leaved Cassia''' * ssp. ''oligophylla'' (F.Muell.) Randell – '''Blunt-leaved Cassia''' * ssp. ''petiolaris'' Randell '''Woody Cassia''' * ssp. ''quadrifolia'' Randell :(''Senna quadrifolia'' Burm. is a synonym of ''[[Chamaecrista absus]]'') * ssp. ''sturtii'' (R.Br.) Randell – '''Sturt's Cassia''' * ssp. ''zygophylla'' (Benth.) Randell Some [[Hybrid (biology)|hybridogenic]] subspecies have also been named{{wp}}: * nothosubsp. × ''artemisioides'' * ssp. × ''coriacea'' (Benth.) Randell * nothosubsp. × ''coriacea'' (Benth.) Randell :(''Cassia coriacea'' Benth. is a synonym of ''[[Chamaecrista coriacea]]'') * nothosubsp. × ''sturtii'' (R.Br.) Randell In addition, there are apparently at least 2 undescribed [[taxa]]{{wp}}: * ''Senna artemisioides'' "[[James Range]] (P.L.Latz 18528)" * ''Senna artemisioides'' "[[Kuyunba]] (B.Pitts 113)" Altogether, ''S. artemisioides'' might be best considered a [[form taxon]] whose [[phylogenetic]] diversity is still largely unresolved{{wp}}. ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
