Cassia abbreviata, commonly known as the sjambok pod or long-tail cassia, is a mostly tropical tree species in the genus Cassia, which is native to Africa.
Native distribution
Cassia abbreviata is native to east, northeast, south, and west-central Africa; found in Botswana, the DRC, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Somalia, South Africa (in the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga), Eswatini, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. [1]
Uses
Proguibourtinidins, a type of condensed tannins, can be found in C. abbreviata [2] and guibourtinidol, a flavan-3ol, can be found in its heartwood. [3]
Subspecies
Three subspecies are distinguished on the basis of petal size, pubescence and geographical distribution: [4]
- Cassia abbreviata subsp. abbreviata
- Cassia abbreviata subsp. beareana (Holmes) Brenan
- Cassia abbreviata subsp. kassneri (Baker f.) Brenan
