LEGUMINOSAE (CAESALPINIACEAE) 
Cassia insularis sp. nov. 
(PLaTE 167, Fic. 3) 
Leaf 2.25 cm. long by .75 cm. wide at the middle, entire, ovate- 
lanceolate, with acute tip and rounded base, symme ae ical or 
slightly ei aaa secondary nervation sparse, apparently in 
at leaving the midrib at acute eee of divergence, eae 
ard and cemiaaane close to the ma 
This leaf has very much the appearance of the specimen from 
the Lower Atané beds of Greenland which Heer doubtfully refers 
to his Cassia antiquorum.* Inasmuch, however, as he considers 
this species to be identical with his Leguminosites cassiaeformis,t 
which it in no way resembles, so far as the figures are concerned, 
J have thought it advisable to regard our specimen as representing 
a new species and to give it a name indicative of the region where it 
was found 
Incidentally, if Heer’s two names are synonymous, and refer to 
but one species, the name of the species should be written Cassia 
cassiaeformis (Heer).

I have referred this specimen to the above variable species with 
considerable hesitation, for the reason that one of the most promi- 
nent characters, the emarginate apex, is not preserved. The 
nervation, however, is identical with that of the genus and the 
specimen may be compared with the one figured by me from 
Martha’s Vineyard (Hollick, loc. cit., pl. 22, f. 7) 
The systematic position of the genus has always been in doubt
