Please note: in a number of non-English scripted languages the word "cassia" is simply phonetically transcribed - not translated. In order to avoid confusions we suggest that readers check the names of Cinnamomum and Quassia species.

This is a poorly documented species. Some and perhaps all above common names apply to a different species Quassia amara L.
