Genista florida is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Fabaceae.

Very branched shrub that can reach up to 3 m. The stems have 8 to 10 slightly hairy T-shaped ribs.

Other historical explanations are that Geoffrey planted this shrub as a hunting cover or that he used it to whip himself.
