are yellow, and blow in April. A dye is obtained from 

 this plant nearly equal to that of indigo. 



This shrub is fond of water. 



The Small Shrubby Coronilla has small deep yellow 

 flowers, blowing in May, June, and July. It has a very 

 powerful scent, and is a native both of Spain and Italy. 



The Great Shrubby Coronilla is very similar to the last ; 

 but this is in flower almost all the year ; and the scent of 

 it is more powerful in the day-time than in the night. 

 It is a native of the South of France. 



The Cretan Coronilla is a very low shrub, but very 

 handsome when in full blossom, as it produces an abun- 

 dance of yellow flowers. They blow in May, and are very 

 sweet scented. 



The three last kinds are not so fond of water as the first, 

 but incline to a dry soil. In dry summer weather they may 

 be slightly watered about three times a week. In the win- 

 ter they should be sheltered from the frost, and then once in 

 a week will suffice to water them. This treatment will suit 

 most of the species.

THE Round-leaved, Oval-leaved, and Oblong-leaved are 

 properly only varieties of the same species. They are 

 natives of the Cape, and are in blossom from July to 

 September. They must be sheltered in the winter. They 

 are extremely succulent ; and care must be taken to pre- 

 serve a due medium in watering them. If they have too 

 much wet, it will rot them : too little will not nourish 

 them. Observe the leaves, and do not let them shrink for
