[108]
The "sea-side" Cassia cannot be distinguished from C. Tora (I think this in my list) or (Kew) sp. common to Tropics of both hemispheres
I mention under Sensitiveness of Cotyledons & under Sleep.
[Movement in plants, p. 34: "* Seeds of this plant, which grew near the sea-side, were sent to us by Fritz Müller from S. Brazil. The seedlings did not flourish or flower well with us; they were sent to Kew, and were pronounced not to be distinguishable from C. tora."]
