Adenocarpus (aden, gland, karpos, fruit; easily distinguished from allied genera by its glandular pod). Leguminosae. Ornamental woody plants cultivated chiefly for their yellow flowers.
  −
  −
Shrubs, rarely small trees, more or less pubescent: lvs. alternate, trifoliolate, small: fls. papilionaceous, yellow, in terminal racemes; calyx 2-lipped, the 2 upper teeth free, the 3 lower more or less connate: fr. a glandular pod, oblong or linear, compressed.—About 14 species in S. Eu., Asia Minor, N. and W. Afr., Canary Isls. This genus consists of low shrubs, rarely more than 3 ft., of spreading habit, with handsome fls. produced profusely in spring; very attractive when in full bloom.
  −
  −
They require a sunny position and well-drained soil. They are especially adapted for temperate regions, but do not bear transplanting well, and should be grown in pots until planted. They are also handsome greenhouse shrubs, and grow best in a sandy compost of peat and loam.
  −
  −
Propagation is by seeds and greenwood cuttinga in spring; sometimes also by layers and grafting.
