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.
