28 PITTONIA. 
C. PROCUMBENS. Cassia procumbens, Linn. l. c., not of 
Thunberg, nor of Loureiro. An American and subtropieal. 
species, with which Linnsus, in the second edition of his 
Species, confused a somewhat similar Old World type. 
C. DIPHYLLA. Cassia diphylla, Linn. l. c. Cav. Ic. t. 600. 
Species exclusively American, though Linnsus made the 
mistake of attributing it to “India.” That the species is 
a good member of the Chamecrista group appears to have 
been discovered by Colladon; and since then all authors 
have so placed it. In the figure by Cavanilles the Chamz- 
crista habit, inflorescence, and corolla are very clearly 
brought out. 
Coming now to the second edition of the Species Planta- 
yum, it is to be observed that in this work four new species 
are added to the genus Cassia; and three of them are Cha- 
meecristas, though but one is there placed in its proper 
group, the others being ranged with the Sennas. Iu Cha- 
mecrista they will receive names as follows: 
C. pILosa. Cassia pilosa, Linn. Sp. 2 ed. 540; Collad. Hist. 
Cass. 122, t. 20, f. A. C. emarginata, Mill, and C. Milleri, Col- 
lad., according to Bentham. Plant originally from the 
Island of Jamaica, and first published by Patrick Browne 
in 1756. Not recognized as being a Chamæcrista by Lin- 
nsus, or Willdenow, but apparently first assigned its place 
in this series by Colladon. 
C. GLANDULOSA. Cassia glandulosa, Linn. l. e. 542; Col- 
ladon, l. c. 129 in part. Also West Indian, and first pub- 
lished by Breyne, in 1678, with an excellent plate (Cent. 
t. 24). In his first edition Linnzeus referred it to his Cassia 
Chamecrista; but here in the second edition he segregates 
it. Colladon has again confused things by citing under 
C. glandulosa Commelin’s Hortus Amstelodamensis, t. 37, 
which not only represents a totally distinct species, but is,
