superba, for the sake of inducing people to buy it. So far is 
it from deserving such a name, that we should not have 
thought it interesting enough to be figured if it had not been 
for the purpose of putting an end to this fraud. 
lt is very like some gray Genista, and may be easily pre- 
served in a dry frame during the winter. It flowers in June. 
In habit it agrees but indifferently with the mass of the 
genus, but its flowers present no distinction ; and Dr. Hooker 
finds the fruit to be that of Adesmia. |
