with pods ovate poly sperm, and Sp. ferox with 

 pods linear falcate polysperm, probably 2 other 

 subgenera. 



87. NuBiGENA Raf. diff. Retama, cal. lab. 

 sup. truncato, leg. compr. curvo undul. glabro 

 polysp. — nearer to last by pods but type very 



near Retama. ^ 



88. Nubigena tenerifa Raf. Spartium and 

 Cytisus nubigenus auct. flowers white and fra- 

 grant as in Retama, but axillary fasciculate. 



89. Verzinux^ Raf. (n. lat.) dilf. Spartium, 

 cal, 5partitus patens ineq. bilab. petaHs raagnis

 ventricoso 21ab. lab. dilat. sup. 2dent. inf. 3dent. 

 vexil. refl. obcord. stam, monad, stig. glabro 

 Leg. planum polysp. sem. planis — this G. is thus 

 reduced for type to Sp. scopariurn and such 

 others as may be found to agree thereto, Sp, bi-

 tubulosus membranosus sub. 21ab. vel. subinte-

 2-4sp.. — This perhaps includes many or most of 

 the spinose kinds, altho' there are yet some ano- 

 malies, such are Lijg. spinosum^ villosumjwr- 

 ridum, ferox? They are as akin to Vlex as to 

 Spartium, 3 others Sp, contn?ninatum, sfpia- 

 rium and cytisoides are now forming the G. 

 LebecTcia, Some of the spinose Genistas may 

 also belong to Lygoplis; Genista of L. and co- 

 pists hardly differs from their Spartium except 

 by oblong narrow incumbent vexillum : their
