[[File:RoyalPoinciana.jpg|thumb|right|''Senna tora'', '' Caesalpinioideae'']]
Senna tora (originally described by Linné as Cassia tora) is a legume in the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. Its name has been derived from Sinhala language, in which it is called Tora. In Sri Lanka it is easily found in many places. It is often confused with Chinese senna or sicklepod, Senna obtusifolia. If it is given a distinct common name at all, it is called sickle wild sensitive-plant or sickle senna.
