Abstract
Sesbania grandiflora L. (family- Leguminosae) is a small erect, fast-growing, and sparsely branched tree that reaches 10 m in height. The bark of this species is light gray, corky and deeply furrowed and the wood is soft and white. All Sesbania species have pinnately compound leaves where each leaf is divided into multiple leaflets. Agati leaves can be up to 30 cm long with 5-15 paired leaflets that are oblong to elliptic in shape and about 3 cm in length. The flowers of Sesbania grandiflora L. are large (7–9 cm long) and are borne on an unbranched, pendulous inflorescence. Two varieties of Sesbania grandiflora L. are recognized including variety grandiflora which has white flowers and variety coccinea which has rose pink or red flowers.
