Abstract
Our beloved country Iraq is rich in plant diversity, as it contains more than 150 plant families, including 860 genera and more than 2500 species. Among these plant families, which are considered the third largest plant family, is the legume family Fabaceae, which was previously, called Leguminosae or Fabaceae under the subfamily butterfly or Papilionaceae. The Iraqi flora states that it consists of 650 genera and 17,000 species, while modern sources state that it includes more than 751 genera and 19.500 species.

One of the genera of this family is the Cassia plant. Despite its medical and economic importance, in addition to the beauty of its flowers as one of the best ornamental plants, it has not received a comprehensive study in Iraq, and previous studies have not shed light on its anatomical aspects in separating and distinguishing among species spread in the central and southern provinces of our country.
