Wikipedia Abstract

Senna reticulata, the mangerioba grande or maria mole in Portuguese, is a pioneer tree species found on highly fertile floodplains in South America. It has some medicinal uses, but is regarded by farmers as a noxious weed, named matapasto (meadow killer) due to its ability to grow fast and outshade neighbouring plants. The xanthonoid cassiaxanthone can be found in S. reticulata as well as the anthraquinone rhein.
