Of all the different species of Cy- 

 tisus, when grafted on the laburnum 

 standard high, this forms the most 

 graceful tree ; and a plant of it covered 

 with its purple flowers, placed on a 

 lawn, or in a border near a standard of 

 Genista triquetra, covered with its 

 golden yellow flowers, will produce a 

 very striking effect. The singular hybrid 

 or sport formed between this plant and the laburnum has 

 been already described, p. 2IG.
