Definition
A genus of shrubby plants in the legume family, also called broom, with bright yellow flowers and used historically to make dyes.
Etymology
From Latin 'genista', a plant name possibly derived from Celtic sources, used in classical botanical Latin to describe broom plants; the term was formalized in Linnaean taxonomy.
Kelly Says
Medieval monks grew genista to make yellow dye for manuscripts and fabrics, and the plant was so important that a whole royal family—the Angevins—earned the nickname 'Plantagenets' from the Latin 'planta genista' (genista plant) that they wore as a badge!
