French Broom

Genista monspessulana (species)

On the Web

On Wikipedia

Genista monspessulana (syn. Cytisus monspessulanus or Teline monspessulana), commonly known as French broom, Montpellier broom or Cape broom (Australia), is a woody leguminous perennial shrub. The yellow-flowering bush is native to the 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.
