Nomenclatural Notes
Status: nom. inval. provisional name. Protologue: … I met with the red-flowered kind in the district of Chatigang, where it is called Bandur lati (Simile bacillus), and from thence sent it to Dr Roxburgh, who called it Cassia nodosa … If I am right in my conjecture, and if this be the Cassia Fistula Javanica Jiort carneo of Commeline, the name nodosa, however applicable, must be abandoned; but my plant may be the C. F. silvestris flore rubro, without being either Cassia Javanica of Linnaeus, or the C. bacillus of Gartner, neither of whom quoted Rumphius; and in this case the name nodosa should be retained, provided the round bodies in the figure of Rumphius are meant to represent the knots on the filaments …
