Whole page copy-pasted
[edit]About 90% of this page seems to be copy-pasted from "http://www.4to40.com/ayurveda/index.asp?p=Cassia_Fistula&c=Herbs&k=Ahala_Kanuwa". Should probably be deleted ASAP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PseudoscienceFTL (talk • contribs) 02:49, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
- Good eye, but this seems to be a case of a backwards copy, since the external link is remarkable similar to a version of the article from 2007, which was built up slowly and not copied and pasted wholesale by a meticulous editor (see the link and surrounding edits).

Some references & seeds NOT poisonous
[edit]Just removed a sentence stating that the "seeds are poisonous" that were reference to an Ayurveda site that in turn stated several things about the tree without any sources. Did not seem like a trusted source. Moreover, other references pasted below (that could be useful in the article if somebody drops by) clearly indicate that the seeds, contrary to being poisonous have nutritive and medicinal properties. Hence removed.

Species as national symbol
[edit]I have consolidated text about national symbolism of the tree and its flowers to the Culture section, where previously it was in both the lede and that section. The section currently lists Thailand, India (Kerala), Sri Lanka and Laos as countries where the species has symbolic significance. A number of previous edits, which mentioned a single location in the lede, appeared to be WP:UNDUE. Declangi (talk) 23:33, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
I would assume it is true because of its heavy usage in the Buddhacārita of Aśvaghosa where it comes up multiple times. At one point in the fifth canto (verse 6), the prince Siddhartha sitting atop his horse is described as resembling the karṇikāra (druma-abja-ketu) flower:
नवरुक्मखलीनकिङ्किणीकं प्रचलच्चामरचारुहेमभाण्डम् । अभिरुह्य स कन्थकं सदश्वं प्रययौ केतुमिव द्रुमाब्जकेतुः ॥ ३ ॥
“New small golden ornamental bells adorned the bridle bit, (along with) golden ornamented trappings of beautifully swaying chowries // Having mounted the lustrous good horse Kanthaka, [he appeared] like a karṇikāra flower” 5.6 Iṣṭa Devatā (talk) 21:02, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
Some information is repetitive throughout the page
[edit]Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have removed and moved some of the repeated information within the abstract paragraph and the Culture section. I found that the medical appliance of the Cassia fistula as a pimple paste to based of commercial purposes so I removed the part which is irrelevant and not enough research or studies to support the arguments. -CattleyaOr (talk) 01:51, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
