Cassia is a flowering plant in the family fabacea. The members of this family have a very typical arrangement of the corolla, there are five petals, the largest (standard) overlaps the two lateral petals (wings) which in turn overlap the two smallest anterior petals (keel); this type of aestivation is known as vexillary or papilionaceous. Cassia belonging to fabaceae also shows vexillary aestivation.
