How the English word “cassia” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.
CASSIA, noun
A genus of plants of many species, among which are the fistula, or purging cassia and the senna. The former is a native of Egypt and both Indies; the latter is a native of Persia, Syria and Arabia. The latter is a shrubby plant, the leaves of which are much used in medicine. The purging cassia is the pulp of the pods, and is a gentle laxative.
