The Cassia biflora, also known as Desert Cassia, is a small to medium-sized tree with feathery branches and an arching canopy that is producing yellow flowers. It is growing to be 8-15 meters tall and 8-10 meters wide and is tolerant of salt. The plant has deep green leaves that are being replaced by dandelion-yellow blooms in the spring and fall. The flowers are attracting bees and butterflies. It is native to tropical South America and is part of the Fabaceae family. Bees and butterflies are constantly visiting the yellow flowers. The fine feathery compound leaves are evergreen but might be shed if the winter becomes too dry or too cold. It grows best in full sun and well-drained sandy soil. This tree can tolerate drought and heat. It looks best when it is allowed to grow into an umbrella-shaped canopy. A branch of the Desert Cassia with flowers is being observed in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 31, 2024.
