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

 Leguminous plants [Fabaceae]. Linn., 

 IQ-Decandria, \-monogynia). C. lanceolata 

 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 ob- 

 tained the senna of Mecca. C. obovata 

 furnishes the Aleppo senna; and in 

 America they use the leaves of C. mari- 

 lanica as a purgative. Allied to Ca3sal- 

 pinia. 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 de- 

 serve it.
