Cinnamon was the cassia of the Jews and ancients.
"The Pearl of India"
Maturin M. Ballou
The plant bent slightly in a breath of wind, and knew nothing; the butterfly was far away to my left, deep-drinking in a cluster of yellow cassia; the wasp had already forgotten its achievement, and I alone-an outsider, an interloper-observed, correlated, realized, appreciated, and-at the last-remained as completely ignorant as the actors themselves of the real driving force, of the certain beginning, of the inevitable end.
"Edge of the Jungle"
William Beebe
No butterfly ever turned back, or circled again to the glade, with its yellow cassia blooms where he had spent his caterpillarhood.
