Coronilla, signifying a little crown, is not inaptly 
applied to some of its golden-flowered species. Glau- 
ca points to the peculiar tint of its foliage — an agree- 
able variation amongst dark green plants. 
Here we have a plant of olden time ; one that has 
dealt out gratification for a century past, to cultiva- 
tors of every grade. The rich possessors of conserva- 
tories and greenhouses have given it a place amongst 
the choicest rarities ; whilst the humble possessor 
of a cottage only, has esteemed its beauty, and given 
it the sunniest window of his home. 
It is undesirable that this plant be too well fed ; 
turfy loam is sufficiently rich for its growth, which 
will ensure the production of short -jointed wood, 
and theiefoie abundance of flowers. As well as the 
beauty of the flowers, or pinnate foliage, or the 
variegated variety of the Coronilla, which is not un- 
frequently met with in cultivation, we should remem- 
ber the fragrance which its flowers so freely dispense. 
We should too, remember, with Sturm, when we 
traverse the wilderness of sweets, that we raise the 
thought to Him who has commanded the flowers 
to shed their odoriferous perfumes to delight us.
