I wonder if it might be a Cytisus species?  The ridged stems, tendency to lose leaves and single flowers are what is guiding me.


I think … is right. It may be Cytisus scoparius.

I hope Spartium junceum


Looks like broom, in the genus Cytisus, probably an introduction from Europe.


Any possibilities for Cytisus grandiflorus ?
Please follow: commons.wikimedia.jpg showing flower and angled stem.


This is Spanish broom, Spartium junceum, native to the Mediterranean.


Thanks … for confirmation. The two genera are closely related but differentiated on the basis of calyx being 1-lipped (one split in calyx) in Spartium and 2-lipped (two splits in calyx) Cytisus. … may please also verify this. Also the flowers of C. grandiflorus are much larger and some leaves trifoliate. They are all simple in Spartium.


The plant can be confirmed as Spartium junceum L. of Fabaceae.
The calyx is 2-lipped and I observed only simple leaves.


… please consider Cytisus scoparius for validation. Ref: Google Book


I think matches with images at Cytisus scoparius (L.) Link & does not matches with images at Spartium junceum

Was it a cultivated plant ? Do you have other pictures showing other aspects /


Perhaps it is cultivated, because the plants were seen in the Western Sydney university campus.
sending more photos but I am afraid they don’t show much of other aspects.
