LEGUMINOS-PAPILIONACE®. 333 
202. Cytisus L..—Receptacle cupuliform or shortly turbinate, 
lined by a glandular disk. Calyx gamosepalous, sub-2-labiate ; teeth 
or lobes short or very short, 2 superior often connate entirely or to a 
considerable height. Petals free or slightly connate at base with 
staminal tube; keel straight or curved, obtuse or subacuminate. 
Stamens all connate into a closed tube; 5 oppositipetalous anthers 
shorter versatile; 5 alternipetalous longer subbasifixed. Germen 
sessile or shortly stipitate, oo-ovulate; style curved glabrous ; stigma 
terminal, capitate or oblique. Legume oblong or linear, plano-com- 
pressed glabrous or villous, continuous or more rarely subseptate 
within, 2-valved. Seeds o, arillate—Shrubs or small trees; 
branches rarely spinescent; leaves digitate 3-foliolate, more rarely 
1-foliolate or minute bract-like; stipules minute setaceous or 0; 
flowers? racemose; racemes sometimes terminal elongated, some- 
times short few-flowered and terminal or else lateral or sub- 
axillary by abortion of wing; bracts small caducous or more rarely 
foliaceous and longer persistent, inserted either below pedicel or at 
a variable height on pedicel and sometimes with bractlets just 
below calyx* (Zurope, northern Africa, Canary Islands, western Asia’).

® Bentuam divides this genus into 8 sections, 
according to the habit of calyx, style, and legume; 
1. Sarothamnus (W1mm., Fl. Schles., ed. 2, 148). 
Lips of calyx short divaricated denticulate, style 
curved or circinate. Branches virgate. Leaves 
1-8-foliolate.—2. Spartocytisus (WuBB, Phyt. 
Canar., 49, t. 46,47). Calyx as in Sarothamnus. 
Style curved. Branches virgate. Leaves 0 or 
small 1-3-foliolate—3. Lembotropis (GRISEB., 
Spicil. Fl. Rumel., i.10). Calyx as in Saro- 
thamnus, Keel subrostrate, much curved. Aril 
small. Leaves all 3-foliolate—4. Eucytisus 
(Benvs.). Calyx as in Sarothamnus, Keel 
curved obtuse. Leaves all 3-foliolate.—5. Tubo- 
cytisus (DC.). Calyx tubular 2-labiate; upper 
lip 2-toothed or 2-fid; lower 3-toothed. ‘Leaves 
all 8-foliolate—6. Teline (WEBB, Phyt. Canar., 
ii, 34, t. 48-45.—Telinaria Prust, Bot. Bem., 
49, 135). Calyx short or tubular; 2 superior 
lobes connate or free; lower lip 3-toothed or 3- 
lobed. Leaves 1-3-foliolate.—7. Pterospartum 
(Spacu), Flowers as in Teline. Leaves phyl- 
lodineous, winged and decurrent along branches. 
—8. Chronanthus (DC.). Calyx teeth nearly free 
or connate into 2 lips. Legume. included by 
marcescent petals, ovate or oblong, glabrous.
