Colutea arborescens

Colutea arborescens
Family:Colutea arborescens; Diuretic; Emetic; Purgative.
Common name:Bladder senna
The leaves are diuretic and purgative. The leaves are sometimes used as a substitute for senna as a laxative though they are much milder in their action. The plant is rather unreliable when used medicinally so is rarely employed in herbalism. The seeds are emetic. They are also toxic.
