Abstract:
Cassia marilandica L. (Leguminosae), or wild senna, is a deeply-rooted perennial native to the North American prairie. Although this species has been little-used historically, seeds of other Cassia species have been incorporated into poultry and livestock feed.
An experimental population of a perennial species, Cassia marilandica, was monitored for 4 years to examine changes in size structure and seed production over time. Plants flowered and set seed the 1st year and annually thereafter.
