Broom (plant)
Genisteae is a tribe (biology), tribe of trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants in the subfamily Faboideae of the family Fabaceae. It includes a number of well-known plants including broom, Lupinus, lupine (lupin), Ulex, gorse and laburnum. The tribe's greatest diversity is in the Mediterranean, and most genera are native plant, native to Europe, Africa, the Canary Islands, India and southwest Asia. However, the largest genus, ''Lupinus'', is most diverse in North and South America. ''Anarthrophytum'' and ''Sellocharis'' are also South American and ''Argyrolobium'' ranges into India. Description The Genisteae arose 32.3 ± 2.9 million years ago (in the Oligocene). The members of this tribe consistently form a monophyly, monophyletic clade in molecular phylogenetics, molecular phylogenetic analyses. The tribe does not currently have a node-based definition, but several morphological synapomorphy, synapomorphies have been identified: … bilabiate calyces with a bifid ...

Genista Monspessulana
''Genista monspessulana'', commonly known as French broom, Montpellier broom, or Cape broom (Australia), is a woody leguminous Perennial plant, perennial shrub. The yellow-flowering bush is native to the Mediterranean Region, Mediterranean region, and while it may still be commonly sold in some garden stores, it is considered an invasive plant in most places where it has been introduced. It is a noxious weed on the western coast of the US and in parts of Australia. Description ''G. monspessulana'' grows to tall, with slender green branches. Stems generally ridged or angled and green when young. The leaves are evergreen, trifoliate with three narrow obovate leaflets, long. The flowers are yellow, grouped 3–9 together in short racemes. Like other Fabaceae, legumes, it develops its seeds within a pod. The pods are long, tough and hard, covered all over with hairs, and are transported easily by flowing water and animals. They burst open with force, dispersing the seeds several m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Spartium
''Spartium junceum'', known as Spanish broom, rush broom, or weaver's broom, it is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and the sole species in the genus ''Spartium''. It is closely related to the other brooms (in the genera '' Cytisus'' and '' Genista''). Description ''Spartium junceum'' is a vigorous, deciduous shrub growing to tall, rarely , with main stems up to thick, rarely . It has thick, somewhat succulent grey-green rush-like shoots with very sparse small deciduous leaves long and up to broad. The leaves are of little importance to the plant, with much of the photosynthesis occurring in the green shoots (a water-conserving strategy in its dry climate). The leaves fall away early. In late spring and summer shoots are covered in profuse fragrant yellow pea-like flowers 1 to 2 cm across. In late summer, the legumes (seed pods) mature black and reach long. They burst open, often with an audible crack, spreading seed from the parent plant. Taxono ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Retama
''Retama'' (also known as ''rotem'', ) is a genus of flowering bushes in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the broom tribe, Genisteae. ''Retama'' broom bushes are found natively in North Africa, the Levant and some parts of southern Europe. ''Retama raetam'' and ''Retama monosperma'' have white flowers, while ''Retama sphaerocarpa'' has yellow flowers. It remains an open question in taxonomy whether the members of the genus ''Retama'' should be incorporated into the genus '' Genista'' (see Genisteae). The species contain cytisine, a toxic alkaloid. In the Spanish language the name ''retama'' is commonly used for broom bushes in general, including the genus ''Retama''. Taxonomy The genus ''Retama'' was erected in 1838 by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque, the genus name being derived from Hebrew, from the Jewish Bible. Rafinesque noted that the genus had been included in other genera, including '' Spartium'', '' Cytisus'' and '' Genista'', but he regarded it as distinct. ...
