MR. G. BENTHAM—REVISION OF THE GENUS CASSIA. 558 
Although the pod in this species is straighter than in any of the African and Asiatic ones, yet it 
clearly forms one of the group. In Lindley's herbarium there is a specimen from Swan River, Mangles, 
with narrower leaflets and longer leaves and racemes than in any others, which appears to belong to this 
species; but the pod is not sufficiently advanced to determine it accurately.

A specimen of this species is in the Copenhagen herbarium with Forskähl’s label “ Cassia Aschrek, from 
Moor;” but the short character he gives, Fl. Æg. Arab. 86, must be taken, partly at least, from some very 
different species.
