Species
Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
MEW (2010) state that the species treated by Jongbloed et al. (2003) as Senna alexandrina (from Ras al Khaimah and Rams) in fact refers to S. holoserica, however, this requires confirmation (G.R. Feulner pers. comm. 2019) and the distribution of S. holosericea in the UAE is uncertain. Globally, the native range of this species extends from Somalia and Egypt to the Arabian Peninsula and on to India (Board of Trustees, RBG Kew 2019).

Assessment rationale/justification
The records for this species need confirming as it appears that there is disagreement whether it is common or not in the UAE, and, indeed, whether records refer to S. holoserica or to S. alexandrina. It is therefore assessed as Data Deficient.
