Anotations

Scope note:

Genus containing two or three species of small lilac-like trees native to the mountains of southern Europe from France to the Balkan Peninsula. The trees have yellow flowers that develop into pods of poisonous seeds; all parts of the plant are poisonous: laburnum has proved fatal to cattle, although other animals, such as hares are immune. The wood of laburnums is prized.
