CA'SSIA. (From the Greek name of a 

 plant, kasian of the Bible. Nat. ord., 

 Leguminous Plants [Fabaceae]. Linn., 

 W-Decandria l-Monogynia.) 



C. lanceola'ta produces the true Alexandrian 

 senna-leaves ; and a variety of this species yields 

 the Indian senna. The plant, however, is a native 

 of Arabia, and from it is obtained the senna of 

 Mecca. C. obova'ta furnishes the Aleppo senna ; 

 and in America they use the leaves of C. Mart' 

 la'ndica as a purgative. Allied to Caesalpinia. 

 Annuals and biennials by seed, sown in March or 

 April, in heat ; the biennials by cuttings, in April, 

 of half-ripened shoots, in heat. A few will thrive 

 in the greenhouse ; but most of them require 

 stove treatment in winter ; that is, a temperature 

 of from 50 to 60 ; and where there is much 

 room they deserve it.
