382 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



Everyone knows the sweet scent of Fenugreek, of the flowers of the 

 Peas, Beans, Brooms, and a host of other Papilionacece which are the 

 ornament of our gardens. Besides the beautiful species of Lupinus, 

 Lathyrus, Phaseolus, Colutea, Robinia, Cytisus, Genista, Caragana, 

 Wistaria, Astragalus, Desmodium, Swainsona, Baptisia, Thermopsis, 

 Clianthus, Indigqfera, &c, which can be cultivated in the open air, our 

 temperate conservatories and winter gardens owe some of their finest 

 ornaments to the numerous shrubby Australian and Cape Genistea 

 and Podalyriece, cultivated here since the beginning of the century 

 and belonging chiefly to the genera Pultencea, Chorizema, Oseylobium, 

 Viminaria, Gastrolobium, Daviesia, Bossiaa, Goodia, Templetonia, and 

 Mirbelia.
