10 BRITTON: STUDIES OF WEsT INDIAN PLANTS 
The species has been much confused with the Jamaican C. 
glandulosa. 
20. Chamaecrista polyadena (DC.) 
Cassia polyadena DC. Mém. Soc. Hist. Nat. Gen. 2: 132. 1824. 
TYPE LOCALITY: Guadeloupe. 
DIsTRIBUTION: Guadaloupe; Dominica; Martinique; Barba- 
does. 
My identification of this species is based on my examination of 
the type, some years ago, in the Candollean herbarium at Geneva, 
Switzerland. Notwithstanding the usually sessile petiolar gland 
and the relatively broader leaflets, I am not confident that this 
species is distinct from the preceding one. 
21. Chamaecrista pygmaea (DC.) 
Cassia pygmaea DC. Mém. Soc. Hist. Nat. Gen. 2: 131. 1824. 
TYPE LOCALITY: Santo Domingo. 
DISTRIBUTION: Hispaniola. 
Referred by Bentham to Cassia procumbens L., which is a 
synonym of C. nictitans L. of continental North America, as 
previously indicated by me (Bull. Torrey Club 43: 463). 
22. CHAMAECRISTA PATELLARIA (DC.) Greene, Pittonia 4: 32. 
1899 
Cassia patellaria DC.; Collad. Cass. 125. 1816. 
TYPE LOCALITY: Cayenne. 
DISTRIBUTION: Jamaica; all provinces of Cuba and on the Isle 
of Pines; continental tropical America. 
ILLUSTRATION: Collad. Cass. pl. 16. 
23. CHAMAECRISTA FASCIATA Britton, Bull. Torrey Club 37: 352. 
I9IO 
TYPE LocaLiTy: Between Bath and Cuna-Cuna Gap, Jamaica. 
DISTRIBUTION: Jamaica; Cuban provinces of Oriente, Cam- 
aguey, Santa Clara and Havana. 
24. CHAMAECRISTA AESCHINOMENE (DC.) Greene, Pittonia 4: 32. 
1899 
Cassia aeschinomene DC.; Collad. Cass. 127. 1816.
