• Genista tinctoria, also known as dyer's greenweed, a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae

Genista tinctoria

The plant is known for its bright yellow flowers and its use in dyeing. The plant's common name, "Indigo Broom," comes from its use in producing a yellow dye, which was traditionally used in combination with woad (Isatis tinctoria) to produce a green color.

It is native to North America, from southern Canada to northern Mexico. The plant is a deciduous shrub growing to 5 m tall. The leaves are pinnate, with 13-25 leaflets.
