Senna / Cassia Flowers

My Senna / Cassia in bloom. We call this our Good-Night Tree - the leaves fold close each evening at dusk. I received this tree as a small potted plant from an old friend and kept it alive and in pots through 3 moves before plunking it in the ground here.
There are a bunch of different kinds of Sennas out there and I can't seem to figure out just which species this is. It blooms for about two weeks late September / early October, is semi-evergreen, is somewhat deer-resistant and mildly drought hardy. Any thoughts or insight on this plant's true name / species would be appreciated.
Sexy picture, eh? My wife is getting pretty good at this.
