with pods ovate polysperm, and Sp. ferox with 

 pods linear falcate polysperm, probably 2 other 

 subgeriera. 



87. NUBIGENA Raf. diff. Retama, cal. lab. 

 sup. truncato, leg. compr. curvo undul. glabro 

 polysp. nearer to last by pods but type very 

 near Retama. 



88. Nubigena tenerifa Raf. Spartiurn and 

 Cytisus nubigenus auct. flowers white and fra- 

 grant as in Retama, but axillary fasciculate. 



89. VERZINUM Raf. (n. lat.) diff. Spartium, 

 cal. 5partitus patens ineq. bilab. petalis magnis 

 rotundis. Leg. tomentoso compr. undul. polysp.

 tium do auct.

 vexil. refl. obcord. stam. monad, stig. glabro 

 Leg. planum polysp. sem. planis this G. is thus 

 reduced for type to Sp* scoparium and such 

 others as may be found to agree thereto, Sp. fti- 

 fiorum probably &,c. 



91. LYGOPLIS Raf. (armed spark) diff. cal. 

 tubulosus membranosus sub. 21ab. vel. subinte- 

 gro, stig. villoso, Leg. ovato vel obi. compr. 

 2-4sp.. This perhaps includes many or most of 

 the spinose kinds, altho' there are yet some ano- 

 malies, such are Lyg. spinosum, villosumjior- 

 ridum, ferox ? They are as akin to Vlex as to 

 Spartium. 3 others Sp. contaminatum, sepia- 

 rium and cytisoides are now forming the G. 

 Lebeckia. Some of the spinose Genistas .may 

 also belong to Lygoplis; Genista of L. and co- 

 pists hardly differs from their Spartium except 

 by oblong narrow incumbent vexillum : their 

 Cytisus by diadelphous stamens and pedicellate
