 pods linear falcate polysperm, probably 2 other 

 subgenera. 



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

 sup. truncate, leg. compr. curve undul. glabro 

 polysp. — nearer to last by pods but type very 

 near Retama. 



88. Nuhigena tenerifa Raf. Spartiurn and 

 Cytisus nubigenus auct. flowers white and fra- 

 grant as in Retama, but axillary fasciculate.

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

 reduced for type to Sp^ scoparium and such

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

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

 malies, such are Lyg. spinosum, villosum^hor^ 

 ridum^ ferox 1 They are as akin to Vlex as to 

 Spartium, 3 others Sp, contarninatum, sepia'- 

 rium and cytisoides are now forming the G. 

 Leheckia, 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
