Scientific Names

Read about Petteria in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Petteria (after Franz petter, a Dalmatian botanist; died 1853). Leguminosae. One species, a shrub, very similar in habit to Laburnum, but with the yellow fls. in upright dense racemes, terminal on leafy branch- lets. It is but rarely cult., since it is less showy in bloom than Laburnum or many species of Cytisus. It is hardy as far north as Mass., and requires the same cult, as Laburnum, which see. If grafted, laburnum is to be used as a stock. This monotypic genus differs from Laburnum in its upright racemes, in the tubular calyx, the wings and keel being at the base adnate to the stamens, and in the sessile ovary. It is said to possess the same poisonous properties as that genus. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
