COOK AND COLLINS—ECONOMIC PLANTS OF PORTO RICO. 1138 
Chamaecrista glandulosa. TAMARINDILLO. 
A rather small species, with large flowers similar to C. fasciculata, of the 
eastern United States. The leaves are much like those of the tamarind, whence 
the common name, (Stahl, 3: 117, as Cassia glandulosa.) 
Chamaecrista portoricensis. RrTAMA. 
The variety callosa is said to be called ‘‘retama,”’ and the variety granulata 
‘“‘escobilla,”’ but it is not probable that any such precision actually exists. The 
plant is a small shrub from the limestone hills about Guayanilla, Guanica, and 
Cabo Rojo. (Urban. Symb. 1: 317, under Cassia. )
