Description
Senna artemisioides is a shrub that typically grows to a height of {{cvt|.15-3|m}} high and has pinnate leaves, the leaflets in pairs of one to eight, with a sessile gland between the lowest pair of leaflets. The leaves have tiny, triangular stipules, but fall off as the leaves mature. The flowers are yellow and borne in clusters of two to fifteen in leaf axils on a peduncle up to about {{cvt|15|mm}} long, the petals {{cvt|5-10|mm}} long, each flower on a pedicel up to about {{cvt|10|mm}} long. The sepals are {{cvt|6-8|mm}} long and greenish, the petals mostly {{cvt|7–10|mm}} long. There are ten fertile stamens, the anthers {{cvt|4–5|mm}} long. The fruit is a glabrous, linear pod {{cvt|5-10|cm}} long, {{cvt|8-15|mm}} wide.{{cite web |title=Senna artemisiodes |url=https://profiles.ala.org.au/opus/foa/profile/Senna%20artemisioides |publisher=Flora of Australia.

Distribution
Silver cassia is endemic to Australia, occurring in all mainland states and territories, and has been introduced to California, the Canary Islands, Cyprus, India, Iraq, Spain and Zimbabwe.
Ecology
S. artemisioides is a recognized larval food plant for several species of butterfly and moth, including the small grass yellow, icilius blue, twig looper, blotched satin moth and bag-shelter moth.{{Cite book |last1=Hunt |first1=Lindsay |title=Attracting Butterflies to your Garden - What to Grow and Conserve in the Adelaide Redion |last2=Grund |first2=Roger |last3=Keane |first3=David |last4=Forrest |first4=Jan |publisher=Butterfly Conservation South Australia Inc. |year=2007 |isbn=9780646955353 |edition=2nd |pages=143}}{{Cite book |last1=McQuillan |first1=Peter |title=Caterpillars, Moths and their Plants of southern Australia |last2=Forrest |first2=Jan |last3=Keane |first3=David |last4=Grund |first4=Roger |publisher=Butterfly Conservation South Australia Inc. |year=2019 |isbn=978-0-646-80648-8 |pages=128,144}}{{Cite book |last=Turner |first=M.S. |title=Conserving Adelaide's Biodiversity: Resources |publisher=Urban Forest Biodiversity Program, Adelaide |year=2001 |isbn=0-7308-5892-8 |pages=89}} Seed dispersal is aided by ants which eat the arils.{{Cite book |last1=Bagust |first1=Phil |title=The Native Plants of Adelaide |last2=Tout-Smith |first2=Lynda |publisher=Wakefield Press |year=2010 |isbn=978-1-86254-879-4 |edition=2nd |pages=57}}
Use in horticulture
Senna artemisioides adapts to a wide range of climatic conditions, but is susceptible to frost, especially when young. It prefers dry, well-drained sites with full sun. As an ornamental plant, it is propagated readily from seed, which should first be briefly immersed in boiling water.{{cite web |title=Senna artemisioides |url=https://anpsa.org.au/plant_profiles/senna-artemisioides/#:~:text=Senna%20artemisioides%20is%20a%20woody,commonly%20seen%20in%20gardens%20(subsp. |publisher=Australian Native Plants Society (Australia) |access-date=30 May 2023}}
