MR. G. BENTHAM—REVISION OF THE GENUS CASSIA. 523 
Hab. Tropical America: Surinam, Wullschnagel; Cayenne, Sagot, n. 1156; British 
Guiana, Schomburgk and others. 
Besides the general aspect and broad foliage, this species is readily distinguished from all its near 
allies by the large broad leafy stipules.

A specimen of Œrsted’s from the island of St. Thomas, n. 34, has the foliage, the two glands, the inflo- 
rescence and flowers of C. quinquangulata ; but the leaflets are quite glabrous on both sides, as in C. 
viminea. 
35. C. VIMINEA, Linn. Amen. Acad. v. 397. Ramuli teretes. Foliola quam in præce- 
dentibus sæpius minora, quam in C. chrysocarpa acutiora, nitida, glabra v. vix minute 
puberula; glandula tenuis inter inferiora. Stipulæ angustæ, sepius caducæ. Bracteæ su- 
bulatæ. Panicula basi foliata. Legumen turgidulum, basi obtusissimum. Caulis sepius 
scandens.— 77. Bras. 100.

The above-quoted C. nitida, Rich., has been conjecturally referred to C.. Apoucouita; but the inflorescence 
described by Richard is quite at variance with that of the latter species. The very short character given 
agrees well both with C. viminea and C. undulata; and of these two the former is the one most likely to 
have occurred in the collection described.

lanceolatæ. Legumen turgidulum, basi obtusissimum. Frutex erectus. 
Hab. Tropical America: Trinidad, Guiana, Panama, Sinclair, Fendler, n. 86. 
I have seen several Columbian and other specimens apparently allied to the three preceding species or 
to C. inequilatera, some perhaps distinct from either, but without sufficiently perfect flowers and fruit to 
determine. : 
The plant in herb. DC. from Cayenne, determined to be C. nitida, Rich., and C. Apoucouita, Aubl., is 
certainly C. undulata as to the flowering specimen, which is a good one; the loose pod in the same sheet 
is very different, and looks like that of C. bacillaris.

quam in cæteris Bacillaribus minora, obtusa, subtus innovationes inflorescentiaque pube
