This differs chiefly from the two preceding species in having free 
leaflets, wider, subthyrsoid inflorescences, sessile or subsessile 
flowers, and black fruits. Further, it is described as a large, virgate

Clarke identified S. chinensis, Lindley with this species, but to 
the writer it appears to be distinct. Lindley describes it as “a 
rank, weedy, herbaceous plant, with the aspect of S, Ebulus, 
characters which could not be applied to S. javanica.
