The ftalks in this fpecies of Cytifus are thickly covered 
with {mall leaves, which gives the whole plant an outré — 
appearance, hence Mr. Arron’s name of folielofus, fo happily 
hit off; many other peculiarities attend this charming fhrub, 
of which its long deciduous braf&eze are not the leaft re- 
markable. ©5342 : tae 
It is a native of the Canary Ifles, where it was found by ~ 
Mr. MAsson, and introduced in 1779; if fuffered to grow, 
it will acquire a great height, become indeed too large for 4 
{mall green-houfe, and more fit for a confervatory, for which 
it would appear to be a moft defirable plant; it produces 
flowers abundantly during May and June, which are not only 
ornamental but delicioufly fragrant. ee 
Strong eftablifhed plants ufually produce perfeét feeds, | 
which this fhrub is increafed ; cuttings rarely fucceed.
