Macbride — Notes on certain Leguminosae 27 
Jamaica plant are sometimes quite glabrous. The typical state 
of C. glandulosa does indeed seem to be confined to Jamaica but 
since the more widely distributed glabrous form also occurs there 
this latter state may best be treated varietally, especially since 
the presence or absence of pubescence on the leaflets is known 
elsewhere in the genus to be a character ii variable.

The first available name for this rather common and widely dis- 
tributed Cassia is that of Miller as indicated above, rather than 
C. bacillaris under which name it is generally known. 
SSIA BAUHINIOIDES Gray, var. pilosior Robinson, in herb.,

the typical form). Mexico: ‘Bonde, 1851, Wright, no. 1030. 
Both of the above varieties are fairly well marked but they un- 
questionably pass into the typical form of the species which is 
more or less densely clothed with a short villous-hirsute pubes- 
cence. 
Cassta ANDRIEUxI Benth. Trans. Linn. Soc. xxvii. 548 (1871). 
Cassia fulva Brandg. Zoe, v. 233 (1906), is to be referred here. 
The species is now known from Oaxaca (Nelson, 1884) and 
Puebla (Purpus, 1195).
