Brixton: Studies of West Indian plants 11 



Cassia mimosoides aeschynomene Benth. Trans. Linn. Soc. 27: 579. 



1871. 



Type locality : Santo Domingo. 



Distribution: Jamaica; all provinces of Cuba; Hispaniola; 

 Porto Rico. 



Illustration: Collad. Cass. pi. 17. 



25. Chaimaecrista savannarum Britton, Bull. Torrey Club 43: 



463. 1916 



Type locality: Near Siguanea, Isle of Pines, Cuba. 

 Distribution: Savannas and pine-lands, Pinar del Rio and 

 Isle of Pines, Cuba. 



26. Chamaecrista micrantha Britton, Bull. Torrey Club 43: 



463. 1916 



Type locality: Near San Pedro, Isle of Pines, Cuba. 



Distribution: Pine-lands and savannas, Pinar del Rio and 



Isle of Pines, Cuba. Referred by Grisebach to Cassia pygmaea 



DC. 



27. Chamaecrista riparia (HBK.) 



Cassia riparia HBK. Nov. Gen. 6: 369. 1824. 



Type locality: Banks of the Magdelena River near Mompox. 



Distribution: Jamaica; province of Havana, Cuba; Grand 

 Cayman; Andros, New Providence and Eleuthera, Bahamas; 

 northern South America and recorded from Central America. 



The plant of the Bahamas was referred by me with some doubt 

 (Bull. N. Y. Bot. Card. 3: 443) to C&ssia aspera Muhl., which it 

 closely resembles, except in the petiolar gland. Cuban and 

 Jamaican specimens differ from the Bahaman in having the gland 

 somewhat longer-stalked. 



I have not been able to study an authentic specimen of C. 

 riparia. Bentham's record of it as West Indian was based upon 

 a plant collected in Cuba by Liebmann, preserved in the Kew 

 herbarium.

19. 1902 



Cassia mirabilis Urban, Symb. Ant. 4: 276. 1905. 

 Type locality: Rio Piedras, Porto Rico. 

 Distribution: Northern coastal plain of Porto Rico.
