Ulex Europeus, Linn. Gorse or furze. 
Raised in quantity from seed, about 1874, at Mount Langton, where 
it established itself and flowered freely for a year or two, but did not 
make continuous healthy growth. The climate is probably too hot for 
it so near the sea level. Its first introduction is due to Mr. J. M. 
Jones.

they are forced by hunger. It is mentioned by Michaux in 1808.

ground, recognized by its prickly, coiled seed-vessels. 
MM. denticulata, Willd. 
Indigofera tinctoria, Linn. Indigo. 
Introduced for commercial purposes early in the seventeenth century, 
and now naturalized. It is mentioned as indico in 1623. There is no 
evidence that it was ever cultivated to profit. 
Spartium junceum. Spanish Broom. 
Raised from seed at Mount Langton, and flowered, but never estab- 
lished itself.
