it seems probable that it and the other two Cytisi mentioned 
above might be suitable for inclusion in such a list, as they 
appear to be particularly adaptable for this purpose. It is 
true that in some places, notably South Africa* ‘“Tagasaste

to eat it, if necessary, by a little starvation. The seeds are

As the result of a critical examination of these Canary Island 
Cytisi, it has been found that three distinct species have been 
confused under the name of C. proliferus, Linn. They are dis- 
tinguished from one another not only by striking differences in 
the shape of the leaves, and expecially y their hairy covering, 
but ack is characteristic of either one or at most two islands 
of the Canary Archipelago, whilst there is, in addition, a differ- 
ence in value as fodder as well as constant segregation under 
he peasant people of the Canaries, 
out their crops and plants. 
e extreme endemism of the species of Cytisus in separate 
islands is remarkable, two of the islands, La Palma and Grand 
Canary, having each two species, and Gomera and Tenerife one

among the three forage plants mentioned above and of the species 
with which they have been confused.
