|notes=The single classification of these formerly separate species confounds the historical differentiation between the "Alexandrian" and "Tinnevelly" sources. ''Cassia acutifolia'' formerly provided the Alexandrian senna of commerce, while C. angustifolia has been considered as the material known as Tinnevelly senna. Contemporary references give Senna alexandrina and S. acutifolia as Alexandrian senna and identify S. angustifolia as Tinnevelly senna. }}
