Chamaecrista rotundifolia var. rotundifolia

The Chamaecrista rotundifolia var. rotundifolia is a plant of the order Fabales. Limited information is available on this genus, let alone species.

Clements et al. (1996) used Roundlead cassia (C. rotundifolia) in a large study on Queensland cattle, ensuring that this species was not toxic. They also report that the selection of non-cassia foods tended to be foraged until mid autumn. The problem here is that cassia will no doubt have a high persistence on farms and grasslands since it is being selected against (the cattle just don't like that chow).
