Key to Varieties of S. stipulacea<br />
1. Secondary venation of lfts immersed on upper face, on lower face simply or almost simpl<br />
penniveined, tertiary venulation subobsolete; ovules 8-12; Nuble to Valdivia, ±36^0°S.<br />
109a. var. stipulacea (p. 336).<br />
1. Secondary venation of lfts prominulous on both faces and giving rise to dehcately raised<br />
tertiary connecting or reticular venulation; ovules 5-7; Valparaiso and Coquimbo, lat. 34°<br />
n.-ward. 109b. var. anglorum (p. 336).<br />

Thouin."—Described from plants cultivated at K, of which no spm<br />
was found at BM. Probably progeny of Dombey's 'Cassia brevisiliqua<br />
(nom. nud.), P, <strong>NY</strong>! of which ripe pods in herb. Lamarck. (P) are<br />
dated 1786, hence = 'Cassia reflexa' (nom. nud.) or mayu encoun<br />

of Concepcion (cf. Dahlgren, Field Mus. Bot. 21: 128. 1940) and = C.<br />

Cassia stipulacea Willdenow, Enum. pl. hort. bot. Berol., Suppl. 23. 1813.—No locality mentioned.—Holotypus,<br />
a leafy branchlet cultivated at Beriin from stock derived from Bonpland<br />
and known to be of Chilean origin, presumably descended from that grown by Thouin, q.v.<br />

Cassia stipulacea sensu Vogel, 1837, p. 29, exclus. var.; Clos in Gay, 1854, p. 241, majore ex<br />

Cassia foetida sensu Clos in Gay, 1854, p. 242; Reiche, 1897, p. <strong>35</strong>.<br />
Cassia frondosa sensu Clos in Gay, 1854, p. 239; Reiche, 1897, p. 36 (incl. C. pencana Philippi,<br />
nom. nud.); non C.frondosa Ait. quae = Senna angustisiliqua (Lamarck) Irwin & Bameby.<br />
Characters as given in key; filaments of 2 long abaxial stamens 3-5 mm, ofthe<br />
centric abaxial one 2.5-3 mm; style 2-2.5 mm.—Collections: 13.<br />
Brushy hihsides and thickets, 5-1000 m, scattered along the coast range of s.<br />
centr. Chile from Valdivia n. to Nuble, there extending e. into the foothiUs ofthe<br />
Cordillera.—Fl. X-III(-?).—Mayu (mayo), palo negro.<br />
An attractive shrub, smaU-flowered but highly floriferous, the trunk attaining<br />
a diameter (according to Clos) of one to three inches. Father FeuiUee, whose<br />
early descri<strong>pt</strong>ion was overlooked by Linnaeus, found it used in decoction, at<br />
Concepcion, as a fleabane and was the first to record the vernacular name mayu,<br />
heard in the same region by Ruiz, Pavon & Dombey.<br />
109b. Senna stipulacea (Alton) var. anglorum Irwin & Barneby, var. nov., a var.<br />
stipulacea fohohs utrinque laxe reticulatim venulosis (nee supra ev-<br />

Typus to be sought at SGO; the locahty and the descri<strong>pt</strong>ion of oval-orbicular stipules to 1<br />
