Leaves petiolate; leaflets ovate-lanceolate, rounded at the base. Racemes pendulous. Pedicels and calyxes puberulous. Legumes glabrous, few-seeded, marginate. (Don's Mill.) A deciduous low tree. Found in Carinthia, in the Alps of Jura, on Mount Cenis, and on the Apennines. According to some, it is also found wild in Scotland ; but, though it is much cultivated in some parts of Fifeshire and Forfarshire, it is far irom being indigenous there. Height 20 ft. to 30 ft., sometimes much higher in a state of cultivation. It was introduced into Britain about the same time as the other species, viz. 1396 ; and was, probably, for a long time confounded with it; for which reason we shall treat of the two species, or races, together. Flowers yellow; May and June. Legume brown ; ripe in October. Varieties. 3? C. (L.) a. 2 pendulus has pendulous branches, and, in the foliage and legumes, seems intermediate between C. iaburnum and C. (L.) al- pinus. This is very obvious in a fine specimen of this variety in the arboretum of the Messrs. Loddiges, as shown in the plate in Arb. Brit., 1st edit., vol. v. The pendulous variety of C. Zaburhum is a much less robust plant. f C. (L.) a. 3 purpurdsceiis Hort., C. L. purpiireum Hort., C. Adami Poir., C. L. cocclneum Baum. Cat., the purple Laburnum, the scarlet Laburn
