superba, for the sake of inducing people to buy it. So far is 

 it from deserving such a name, that we should not have 

 thought it interesting enough to be figured if it had not been 

 for the purpose of putting an end to this fraud. 



It is very like some gray Genista, and may be easily pre- 

 served in a dry frame during the winter. It flowers in June. 



In habit it agrees but indifferently with the mass of the 

 genus, but its flowers present no distinction ; and Dr. Hooker 

 finds the fruit to be that of Adesmia.
