History in the Bahamas:
A taxon newly described in 1982, and often confused with
Senna biflora. Also similar to
Senna angustisiliqua, but with fewer leaflets.
Synonyms:
Cassia biflora of Britton & Millspaugh (1920) and Correll & Correll (1982), not L. What is now described as
Senna angustiliqua var.
inaguensis was presumably also lumped into
Cassia biflora by the same authors.
