. Ornamental shrubs of the United States (hardy, cultivated). Shrubs. Genfsta. The true Genistas (flo- rists' Genistas are usually Cytisus^ have pea-like yellow flowers and few alternate simple entire-edged leaves. The calyx-lobes are longer and more slender in true Genistas and the pods are shorter. While neither genus is fully hardy North, and while hoth contain a num- ber of species which might be worth cultivating, very few are in cultiva- tion. The only one needing description is probably Woad-waxen or Dyer's Geeenweed (129) —• Genista tinctbria an erect shrub to 3 feet with yellow flower
