973. Cynometra. A name contrived to indicate the peculiar form of the pods of this genus, which grow 
from the old stems and branches of the tree. Large cuttings root best planted in sand, and plunged in heat 
under a hand-glass. 
974. Cassia. According to Olaus Celsus, this name is to be traced to the Hebrew, Ketxioth, rendered by 
Kottriav in the Septuagint, and Latinized by Cassia. Cuttings of the species, which do not seed freely, root in 
pots of sand, in moist heat, and covered by a hand-glass. 
Of the trivial names of different species of Cassia, that of Absus is the name under which it is described by 
Professor Alpinus, and is supposed to have arisen from a river of Palestine of that name. Tagera is a Malabar 
name, Sophera, an Egyptian name, and Senna, the Arabic name of the plant — Soenna.
