MR. G. BENTHAM—REVISION OF THE GENUS CASSIA. 537 
Hab. Tropical America: Mexico, prov. Oaxaca, Liebmann, Andrieux, n. 418, and others. 
The pod in this species, very unlike that of any other Cassia, might readily be taken at first sight for 
that of a Desmodium.

subglabris. Flores ampli, racemis laxis. 
* Stipule setacee, persistentes v. caduce. 
82. C. HYPOLEUCA, Mart.! Fl. Bras. Cesalp. 117. Foliola 4-6-juga, supra glabra 
nitida, subtus cano-tomentosa. Legumen 4-pollicare, fere 2 lin. latum. 
Hab. Tropical America: Brazil, prov. Minas Geraes. 
88. C. DYSOPHYLLA, Benth. ! in Mart. Fl. Bras. Cesalp. 117. Foliola 3-5-juga, utrinque 
molliter sericea v. velutina. Legumen 4-6-pollicare, vix 2 lin. latum. 
Hab. Tropical America: Brazil, prov. Goyaz; British Guiana, Schomburgk. 
** Stipule foliacee, oblique reniformes, persistentes. 
84. C. VELUTINA, Vog.! Syn. Cass. 24. Foliola 3-4-juga, late oblonga, supra sericeo- 
puberula, subtus rufo-tomentosa. Legumen semipedale, vix 2 lin. latum.—77. Bras. 118. 
Hab. Tropical America: Brazil, prov. Piauhy and Mattogrosso. 
85. C. CANA, Nees ! et Mart. in Nov. Act. Nat. Cur. xii. 34. Foliola 4-6-juga, oblonga, 
supra nitida subglabra, subtus canescenti-tomentosa. Legumen 3-5-pollicare, vix 2 lin. 
latum.—7/. Bras. 118. 
Hab. Tropical America: Brazil, prov. Bahia and Minas Geraes. 
86.? C. LoNGEGLANDULOSA, Benth.! in Mart. Fl. Bras. Cesalp. 119. Ramuli fusco-pilo- 
sissimi. Foliola 6—10-juga, oblonga, pilosula, glandulis elongatis. Legumen ignotum. 
Hab. Tropical America: Brazil, on the Amazon. 
A remarkable and very distinct species, of somewhat doubtful affinity, the fruit being as yet unknown. 
87. C. APPENDICULATA, Vog. ! Syn. Cass. 24.  Foliola 3-4-juga, obovata, obtusissima v. 
emarginata, supra glabra nitidula, subtus pubescentia. Legumen semipedale, angustum.— 
Fl. Bras. 119, t. 36. 
C. australis, Vell. Fl. Flum. 166, Ic. iv. t. 65, non Sims. 
Hab. Tropical America: Brazil, prov. Rio Janeiro. 
Series 4. Coriacew. Frutices glaberrimi, foliolis rigide coriaceis. Flores ampli, racemis 
paniculatis. Species legumine ignoto quoad affinitatem subincerte. | 
I have unfortunately seen no fruit of either of the two following very remarkable species. The very 
coriaceous glabrous foliage is that of some species of Absus; but the flowers are very different, and are 
nearest in structure to those of C. dysophylla and C. velutina, which induces me to refer them to 
Prososperma. 
88. C. Gorrron1a, Benth. in Mart. Fl. Bras. Cesalp. 120. Foliola bijuga, late ovata, 
2-3-pollicaria. Stipulæ latissimæ, rigide foliaceæ, 1-2-pollicares. 
Hab. Tropical America: Central Brazil, Pohl. 
89. C. GARDNERI, Benth. in Mart. Fl. Bras. Cesalp. 120. Foliola bijuga, suborbiculata, 
pollicaria. Stipulæ nullæ v. minutæ caducissimæque.
