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. pl. 17. 
25. CHAMAECRISTA SAVANNARUM Britton, Bull. Torrey Club 43: 
463. 1916 
TYPE LOCALITY: Near Siguanea, Isle of Pines, Cuba.

26. CHAMAECRISTA MICRANTHA Britton, Bull. Torrey Club 43: 
463. I916 
TYPE LocALiIty: 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 
DG. 
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. Gard. 3: 443) to Cassia 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.
