Genista hispanica (Spanish Broom) 
Sometimes called Spanish Gorse. Evergreen globe about 24 inches high. 
Shapely and attractive in the flower and in the foliage which conceals 
numerous thin sharp spines. Like the tiger’s velvety paw, the fine foliage 
completely conceals the ferocious claws hidden underneath. Hardy and has 
unexcelled merit for special plantings.

Genista prostata 
The densest and most compact of all creeping brooms. Grows to a height of 
18 inches and so completely covers the ground that weeds cannot come 
through. Branches are small, gracefully fall over the ground, taking root, 
and so the plant spreads in a solid mass. Remarkably good for covering 
banks or slopes. Flowers are yellow and plentiful, and the foliage is fine 
green at all seasons.
