Senna corymbosa
Also called Autumn Cassia, Golden Senna
Senna corymbosa is a frost-tolerant evergreen shrub or small tree from South America, grown for its clusters of yellow flowers in summer and autumn. It is best given full sun and well-drained soil, and it is often used in warm temperate gardens.
Senna corymbosa is an ornamental plant in the genus Senna. It is also known as Argentine senna, Argentina senna, buttercup bush, flowering senna, Texas flowery senna or tree senna.
It is distributed, from sea level to about 200 m above sea level, in all the departments of Uruguay; in southern Brazil in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina; in Paraguay; and in eastern Argentina, in the provinces of La Pampa, Córdoba, Santa Fe, Misiones, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, and Buenos Aires, reaching as far south as the outskirts of Mar del Plata. It is found wild in the province of Tucumán. It inhabits wetlands, riverbanks and mountain edges.
