—the leaves {/mall, dark green) trifoliate, the foli¬ 
oles or lobes ovate-oblong; and upright, Angle fpikes

hemia, and Italy. {Any foil andfituation.) 
4. Cytisus fupinus. Supine or Trailing Cytifus. 
A fmall, deciduous, procumbent (hrub, of three or 
four feet growth—the branches procumbent or trail¬ 
ing; leaves {/mail) trifoliate, the folioles or lobes

tive of Siberia, Italy, Sicily, and France. {Any 
/oil.) 
5. Cytisus aujlriacus, Auflrian Upright Cytifus. 
A middling, deciduous Ihrub, four, to five or fix 
feet high—the ftem eretl; leaves {/mall) trifoliate, 
the lobes or folioles fpear-fliape; and yellow flowers 
in terminal umbels.—Native of Aullria, Siberia, and 
Italy. {Any fituation.) 
6 . Cytisus hirfutus, Hirfuted or Shaggy-cupped 
Ever-green Cytifus. 
An ever-green Ihrub, fix or feven feet high—the 
leaves {/mall) trifoliate, with the folioles or lobes oval; 
and Ample, lateral peduncles or flower ilalks, fuf- 
taining yellow flowers, having hairy or fhaggy, trifid 
cups, which are bellied-oblong.—Native of Spain, Si¬ 
beria, Aullria, and Italy. {Any common foil.) 
All thefe fpecies of Cytifus are hardy to grow in any 
common foil and fituation; very defirable, ornamen¬ 
tal flowering-trees and lhrubs, for the pleafure-ground; 
and the Tree Cytifus or Laburnum is alfo eligible to 
aflemble in any large, deciduous tree plantations, and 
Iikewife, occafionally, among forell-trees, as it grows 
fwiftly to fome confiderable fize, or to plant among 
coppice wood; though this, as well as all the other 
fpecies of Cytifus, is generally efleemed principally 
for ornamental planting; in which they effedl an agree¬ 
able variety in their trifoliate leaves in fummer, and 
flower very confpicuoufly in May and June, in nume¬ 
rous fpikes and bunches of yellow flowers, all of the 
pea-bloom form, or what the botanifts call papiliona¬ 
ceous or butterfly-Ihaped; and are fucceeded by many 
longilh, narrow pods of the legumenous kinds, fur- 
niihing plenty of ripe feed in autumn, ufeful for flow¬ 
ing, when required, for the propagation of the fpe¬ 
cies, as all the forts are generally raifed by that means, 
and fometimes by layers and cuttings, to propagate 
particular fpecies and varieties. 
They may all be had at the nurferies, in full col¬ 
lection, or of any particular forts required, of proper 
growth for planting; which may be performed in au¬ 
tumn, or fpring, or any time in open weather, from 
OClober to March; efpecially all the deciduous kinds. 
For ornamental planting, they may be introduced 
in any principal or general flirubbery diftriCts, clumps, 
and other compartments; in which generally aflemble 
all the deciduous tree and Ihrub kinds, principally 
with others of that tribe; and the ever-green Cytifus 
may either have a coufpicuous fituation, moftly in the 
ever-green clumps, &c. or in any other principal part 
of the pleafure-ground, where it may be diltinguilh- 
able both as a neat ever-green, beautiful at all feafons, 
and as a pretty flowering-flirub, like the others of the 
fame family, in fummer. 
They are all eafily propagated generally by feed, 
and fome, occafionally, by layers and cuttings. 
Sow the feed in March, in a bed of common, light 
earth, each fort leparate, either in drills or broad-call, 
and earthed over an inch deep; the feed wall foon ve¬ 
getate, and the plants come up the fame year, and ad¬ 
vance feveral inches to a foot high, by the end of 
fummer; continuing them in the feed-bed till next 
fpring, then tranfplant them Into nurfery-rows, in 
which train them with a Angle Hem below, and run 
them with full heads above, to a proper growth of 
two, three or four, to five or fix feet, according to 
that of the different forts eligible for the fhrubbery, 
&c. or the Laburnum, in its largilh growth, will 
tranfplant fuccefsfully of fix, feven or eight feet. 
Layers and cuttings of the young Ihoots in autumn 
or fpring, will be properly rooted by the autumn fol¬ 
lowing, when, or in fpring, may be tranfplanted into 
the nurfery, and trained as intimated above, for the 
feedling plants. 
Daphne, WOOD LAUREL, and Mezereon. 
Clafs and Order. 
Oftandria Monogynia, 
Eight Males, One Female-, 
Or Plants with Hermaphrodite Flowers, having eight 
Stamina or Male Fruclif cation, and one Piflillum o r 
Female. 
THE family of Daphne comprifes feveral hardy 
fpecies of fmall and moderate Ihrub kinds for the 
fhrubbery.
