I thought senna was bark, which would be more of a spice than an herb...

Many years ago, at summer camp, our counselor told us that one of the 
cabins had done an overnighter in the woods, and when they gathered 
firewood to cook their food, they happened to gather up some cascara 
along with the alder and birch they found.

Let's just say it was a long night.
