Cytisus scoparius, Link (Sarothamnus scoparius, Wimm. Spartium scoparium, Linn.). Scotch Broom. Shrub, to 10 ft., with erect, slender branches: Lvs. short- petioled, 1-3-foliolate; lfts. obovate or oblanceolate, sparingly appressed-pubescent, ¼-½ in long: fls. usually solitary, ¾ in. long; calyx and pedicels nearly glabrous: pod brownish black, glabrous, villous only at the margin. May, June. Cent. and S. Eu. G. 25:169.— The tops are used for their sedative and diuretic properties. In Germany the fls. also are used medicinally. Var. Andreanus, Dipp. (Genista Andreana, Puissant).
''Cytisus scoparius'' Link (syn. ''Sarothamnus scoparius'' Wimm. ''Spartium scoparium'' L.). Common Broom. Shrub, to 3 m, with erect, slender branches: Lvs. short- petioled, 1-3-foliolate; lfts. obovate or oblanceolate, sparingly appressed-pubescent, 5-15 mm long: fls. usually solitary, 2 cm long; calyx and pedicels nearly glabrous: pod brownish black, glabrous, villous only at the margin. May, June. Central and western Europe. The tops are used for their sedative and diuretic properties. In Germany the fls. also are used medicinally.
Fls. yellow with dark crimson wings. R.H. 1886:373. Gt. 40:1342. R.B.19:129. J.H. IIL 32:462.—A beautiful and striking variety. Var. albus, Loud. (var. pallidus, Hort. var. ochroleucus, Zabel., var. sulphureus, Arb. Kew). With yellowish white or pale yellow fls. Gn. 61, p. -299; 65, p. 375. G.M. 44:580. Var. pendulus, Arb. Kew (C. grandiflorus, Hort., not DC. C. cantabricus, Hort., not Willd.). With slender pendulous branches. There is also a variety with double fls.—All the vars. are more tender than the type. The Scotch broom, C. scoparius, has become established in this country, as a naturalized plant, in waste places from Nova Scotia to Va.; and it is also reported from Vancouver Isl. It is also recommended by landscape gardeners for covering raw and broken places. Its yellow fls. and nearly bare sts. make a unique combination in the American landscape. Even when it kills to the ground in winter, it throws up its sts. again in the spring.
