Calyx bilabiate, upper lip bipartite, lower one tridentate, or 5- lobed, the three lower lobes nearly joined to the apex. Vexillum oblong-oval. Carina oblong, straight, not always containing the stamens and pistils. Sla- viens monadelphous. Legume compressed, many-seeded. (Don's Mill.) Leaves simple or compound, alternate, rarely opposite, stipulate, decidu- ous or sub-evergreen ; lanceolate, linear, or trifoliolate. Flowers terminal or axillarj^ yellow. The hardy species are deciduous or sub-evergreen shrubs, generally with trifoliolate leaves and yellow flowers ; there is a great sameness of character among them, and, though many are quite distinct, yet it is highly probable that the greater number now recorded as species are only varieties. They are chiefly natives of Europe; but a few are found in the North of Africa. As they grow rapidly, and flower freely, especially on soils not wet at bottom, they are desirable plants for newly formed shrubberies, but in general they are not of long duration. A number of the species were formerly included under the genus iSpartium and some under C^tisus, from which they have been separated by Lamarck, whose arrangement, as modified by DeCandoUe, we have adopted in the following enumeration. §1.
