We are indebted to Dr. G. V. Perez for seed of this forage plant (Cytisus proliferus var.) It is a shrub indigenous to the Canaries, the leafy branches of which are said to be a useful fodder. It requires a light dry soil, and is rather intolerant of frost in winter. The plants should be placed six to ten feet apart, may be cut two or three times a year, and will last 10 to 20 years. Thirty-five pounds of fresh chopped Tagasaste mixed with 20 lbs. of chopped straw is said to be sufficient for the daily nourishment of a horse or cow. The seed is very slow in germinating.

The seed was pretty widely distributed from Kew. It is too soon to expect the results of trials at present.
