Cassia (genus)
''Cassia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, and the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. Species are known commonly as cassias. Cassia is also the English common name of some species in the genus ''Cinnamomum'' of the family Lauraceae. Many species of genus ''Senna'' were previously included in ''Cassia''. ''Cassia'' now generally includes the largest species of the legume subtribe Cassiinae, usually mid-sized trees.
==Ecology==
''Cassia'' species occur in a range of climates. Some can be utilized widely as ornamental plants. They have been used in reforestation projects, and species from desert climates can be used to prevent desertification.
''Cassia'' species are used as food plants by the caterpillars of many lepidopteran taxa. For example, the skipper ''Astraptes fulgerator'' and the pierids ''Catopsilia pomona'' and ''C. pyranthe'' are all seen on ''Cassia fistula''. The latter utilizes several other cassias, as well.
The plant pathogenic viruses cassia yellow blotch bromovirus and cassia yellow spot potyvirus were first described from ''Cassia''.
