CHAMJECRISTA. 31 
At least two of the Cassias published as new by Swartz in 
1788 are Chamæcristæ, namely, 
C. viRGATA. Cassia virgata, Swartz, Prodr. 66, and FI. 
Ind. Occid. 728. Belongs to the West Indian archipelago. 
C. LINEATA. Cassia lineata, Swartz, Prodr. 66, and FI. 
Ind. Occid. 726. Island of Jamaica. 
Persoon among his new Cassias of 1805 had two which 
are of this genus; one of them having been assigned by him 
an untenable specific name, as will be seen below. 
C. ROTUNDIFOLIA. Cassia rotundifolia, Pers. Syn. i. 456; 
Colladon. Hist. Cass. 119. Native of South America. 
C..Prrsoontt. Cassia Persoonii, Collad. l. c. 119 (1816); 
C. lanceolata, Pers. 1. c. (1805), not of Forsk. (1775). Also 
South American. 
Colladon, whose fine monograph, published in 1816, is 
now a classic, may naturally stand last in the line of early 
post-Linnsan authors who contributed the knowledge of 
several new species belonging to this genus; and with these 
we conclude the present paper. 
C. BREVIPES. Cassia brevipes, DC., in Collad. l. c. 119, t. 
9,fig. A. The species is Central American, and is one of 
many Chameecriste in which the leaflets consist of only a 
single pair, but of which the whole habit, and every char- 
acter of inflorescence and flower and fruit, are at agreement 
with this generic type. 
C. prFOLIOLATA. Cassia bifoliolata, DC. in Collad. 1. c. 
120, t. 9, fig. B. Of Mexico and Central America. 
C. CUNEATA. Cassia cuneata, DC. in Collad. l. c. 121. In- 
digenous to South America.
