6 BRITTON: STUDIES OF WEsT INDIAN PLANTS 
TYPE LOCALITY: Brazil. 
DISTRIBUTION: Pinar del Rio and Isle of Pines, Cuba; con- 
tinental tropical America. 
ILLUSTRATION: Breyn, #l. 23. 
6. CHAMAECRISTA GRAMMICA (Spreng.) Pollard, Field Col. Mus. 
Bot. 2: 47. 1900 
Cassia grammica Spreng. Neue Entd. 3: 55. 1822. 
Cassia lineata brachyloba Griseb. Mem. Am. Acad. II. 8: 179. 
1860. 
TYPE LocALity: Maritime regions, Cuba and Hispaniola. 
DisTRIBUTION: Cuba (according to Sprengel) and collected 
by Wright in Oriente; Hispaniola; Porto Rico; Little St. James 
Island, St. Jan. 
The plant of southern Florida, referred to this species by Chap- 
man and by Small, is distinct, according to the studies of Dr. 
Pennell. 
7. Chamaecrista obcordata (Sw.). 
Cassia obcordata Sw.; Wikstr. Vetensk. Acad. Handl. 1825: 4209. 
1826. 
TYPE LOCALITY: St. Bart’s. 
DisTRIBUTION: St. Bart’s; I refer, with doubt, Dr. Boldinghs’ 
No. 5288B from St. Martin to this species, which he recorded as 
Cassia polyadena DC. (Fl. Nederl. West Ind. 21 1); the St. Martin 
plant is more nearly related to C. lineata than to C. polyadena. 
Bentham indicates the same affinity for the plant of St. Bart’s 
(Trans, Linn. Soc. 27: 572). No modern collections have been 
made on St. Bart’s; it lies close to St. Martin. | 
8. CHAMAECRISTA LINEATA (Sw.) Greene, Pittonia 4: 31. 1899 
Cassia lineata Sw. Prodr. 66. 1788. 
Cassia cuneata Griseb. Cat. Pl. Cub. 80. 1866. Not C. cuneata 
DC. 
TYPE LOCALITY: Jamaica. 
DISTRIBUTION: Jamaica; Cuban provinces of Oriente, Cam- 
aguey and Santa Clara, and Isle of Pines; Hispaniola; Bahamas. 
Specimens from the south coast of Santa Clara, Cuba, have 
puberulent foliage.
