GENISTA OVATA. 
Class, Order. 
DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 
This is a native of Sclavonia and the 
Bannat, where it is found growing on hills. 
It is a low, bushy, unarmed shrub, and pro- 
duces its flowers in great abundance about 
the month of July. 
It is capable of enduring our severest 
cold, and may be increased by cuttings or 
seeds, which will sometimes come to matu- 
rity here. It will grow in almost any soil, 
and forms an ornamental little plant.
