Genus limitibus diversis a diversis auctoribus a Cytiso affinibusque distinetum, characteribus nune 
a calyce, nunc a carina a stigmate a legumine v. a strophiola seminum sumptis. Visiani, Fl. Dalmat. 
iii. 262, Genisíam cum omnibus affinibus Cyfiso adscripsit, alii in genera numerosa diviserunt. 
Character seminum estrophiolatorum nobis satis cum habitu convenire videtur, etsi in paucis specie- 
bus incertus. Leguminis gradationes omnes inter legumen globosum subearnosum G. monospermi 
et elongatum planum G. Sahare occurrunt, sed paucis intermediis neglectis Genistam e forma legu- 
minis in sectiones sequentes dividimus :
