Derivation. Said to be from oiwSf an ass ; because only asses would feed upon so prickly a plant. Restharrow is a corruption of arrest, that is, stop, harrow ; from the long and deeply seated roots opposing a serious impediment to the plough or harrow. Gen. Char. Calyx campanulate, 5-cleft, with linear segments. Vexillum large, striated. Stamens monadelphous, the tenth one sometimes almost free. Legume usually turgid, sessile, few-seeded. (Don's Mill.) Leaves trifoliolate, stipiJate, alternate, deciduous. Flowers yellow, pur- plish and red, or rarely white. — Shrubs, very low, suffruticose ; natives of Europe. Two species are hardy. The peduncle is, in many instances, furnished with an awn, which is the petiole of an abortive floral leaf. The two specimens here described are well adapted for rockwork or flower-borders, on account of their lively flowers, which are red, or reddish purple; colours not frequently met with in the lig- neous Leguminaceae, by far the greater part of which have yellow flowers. They are readily propagated by seeds or by division, and will grow in any soil that is tolerably dry. j» 1. O. FRUTico^sA L. The shrubby Restharrow. Identification. Lin. Sp., 1010. ; Dec.
