Cytisus Hirtus Var. Elongatus

Cytisus hirtus var. elongatus is a lesser-known yet fascinating member of the legume family. This variant of the commonly cultivated Cytisus hirtus is distinguished by its elongated leaves and delicate yellow flowers. Native to the mountainous regions of southern Europe, it thrives in rocky and well-drained soils. Its unique morphology makes it a valuable subject for botanical study and horticultural interest. Despite its beauty, it remains underappreciated in both scientific and gardening communities.
