520 MR. G. BENTHAM—REVISION OF THE GENUS CASSIA. 
resve, apice breviter racemosi. Pedicelli 3-1-pollicares. Sepala anguste ovata, 3—4 lin. longa. Petala 
longiuscule unguiculata, 3 inferiora ¿ pollicaria, superiora paullo minora. Antheræ 3 cæteris paullo 
majores longiusque stipitate. 
There are several specimens in Herb. Mus. Brit., from which 1 have been unable to detect any cha- 
racter to distinguish Don's two supposed species. 
26? C. INZQUILATERA, Balb. in DC. coe ii. 490 (ex char. )  Foliola ampla, acumi- 
nata, glaberrima. Legumen longum, cylindraceo , undique granuloso- 
scabrum (in affinibus ubi notum leve). 
Chamefistula inequilatera, G. Don, Gen. Syst. 11. 451. 
Hab. Tropical America: Columbia, Santa Marta (Bertero), near Tovar, Fendler, 
n. 1850; Mexico, prov. Oaxaca, Liebmann. 
I do not feel certain as to having properly identified this species. The granular pod appears to distin- 
guish it from other glabrous-leaved axillary-flowering Bacillares ; but whether it is so or not in Bertero's 
original plant is not known. The specimen in De Candolle's herbarium is in flower only, and cannot in 
that state be distinguished from the true C. bacillaris.

obtusa, basi inæquilatera, ultima 4-5 poll. longa, supra sparse pilosa demum nitidula, subtus molliter 
pubescentia; glandula conica, inter inferiora; petiolus communis more affinium seta terminatus. Stipulæ 
lineari-falcatee, caducissimæ. Racemi axillares, pedunculati, petiolo communi multo breviores, floribus 
confertis. Pedicelli pollicares longioresque. Bracteæ parvæ, angustæ, caducæ. Sepala interiora fere 4 lin. 
longa, pubescentia, exteriora paullo minora. Petala pubescentia, semipollicaria v. paullo majora. An-

Liebmann's specimens itin: flower only, pl in fruit; but both appear to belong to the 
same species.  —
