Of the U. S. Ph., the dried leaves of Cassia acutifolia, imported especially from Alexandria and Tripoli, and the leaves of Cassia angustifolia, imported from India. They are much used as a purgative, usually in combination with some aromatic and an alkaline salt to prevent griping. The active constituents of senna are much like those of aloe, buckthorn, and rhubarb. Previous treatment with alcohol lessens the griping action.
