has gloss | eng: Cytisus multiflorus is a species of legume known by the common name white Spanish broom. It is native to the Iberian Peninsula, but it is better known on other continents, including Australia and North America, where it grows as an introduced noxious weed. This is a shrub growing up to 3 or 4 meters in sprawling height, with a broomlike array of many five-angled flexible branches. Leaves appear mainly on lower branches, each made up of three leaflets. Some leaves grow on the upper branches; these are generally made up of a single leaflet. Each leaflet is under a centimeter long and may be linear to oblong in shape and coated in soft silvery hairs. The white, pea-like flower is up to a centimeter long and is often marked with a dark pinkish streak near the base. The fruit is a hairy legume pod up to 3 centimeters long. The pods turn black with age and dehisce explosively to release their four to six seeds away from the parent plant. |
