| 释义 | > as lemmascassia fistula cassia fistula n. (see sense 4). cassia fistula a. Botany. A genus of trees, shrubs, or herbs (family Leguminosæ) distributed in numerous species over the warmer regions of the earth. The leaflets of several species constitute what are known in medicine as Senna leaves. The name cassia fistula was given already in the Middle Ages, to one species, the Pudding Pipe tree, a native of India, but cultivated in Northern Africa, the West Indies, etc., which produces the cassia pods containing a pulp used as a laxative. Thence botanists have extended the name to the genus.
