Specific Character. 



GENISTA triquetra foliis ternatis, fummis fimplicibus, ramis 

 triquetris procumbentibus. L'Herit. Stirp. nov. 

 t. 88. Ait. Kezv. v. 3. p. 14. 



Monf. L'Heritier, author of many modern publications 

 in Botany, diflmguifhed for their accuracy and elegance, waa 

 the firft who defcribed and figured this fpecies of Genifta, a 

 native of Corfica, and cultivated here by John Ord, Efy* 

 as long fince as the year 1770. 



It is a hardy, evergreen, trailing fhrub, producing a vail 

 profufion of bloom j which renders it eminently confpicuous 

 in May and June ; its flowers are rarely fucceeded by fe cd ' 

 veffels, fo that it is ufually propagated by layers. 



When tied up properly, and carefully trained to a flake, 1 

 may vie with moft of our ornamental fhrubs : for covering * 

 wall, or paling, where the fituation is not too fhady, it probab } 

 would fucceed very well, § at leaft it is deferving of trial.
