which account he has, as well as Jussieu, united them into 

 one genus, and remarks that Genista lusitanica of Linn^us 

 in its characters taken from the fructification, corresponds 

 in every respect with our present plant, and that indeed, 

 except by the spines of the former, these two plants could 

 hardly be distinguished as species. On the other hand 

 Monch has made three other genera out of these two, 

 under the names of Genistoides, Genistella, and Scorphjs. 

 Spartium radiatum forms a low branched shrub, which 

 is sufficiently hardy to bear the cold of our ordinary winters. 

 Native of Italy and Carniolia. Cultivated by Philip 

 Miller in 1758. Flowers in June and July. Communi- 

 cated by John Walker, Esq.
