dc.description.abstractThe Genus Cassia, also known as Senna, is a large group of leguminous plants belonging to the family of Fabacea. They have a wide range of ethnobotanical uses, including medicinal, ornamental, and industrial applications. In traditional medicine, the Genus has been used in the treatment of various diseases all over the world. Various pytochemicals with diverse bioactivities have been isolated from the Cassia species. However, this has not been done exhaustively in all the species. This review relates the ethnobotanical uses of various Cassia species and emphasizes the importance of doing scientific research on these secondary metabolites for the benefit of the general public.en_US
