Jepson eFlora key for Cytisus multiflorus: http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/eflora/eflora_display.php?tid=22197 Jepson eFlora key to Genista monosperma: http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/eflora/eflora_display.php?tid=81710 - Note: this key disagrees with the key that I posted below in that the corolla must be mostly glabrous. I found a key for Genista monosperma: https://www.cal-ipc.org/resources/library/publications/ipcw/report68/ Fabaceae. Tall ornamental woody shrub, to 10 ft (3 m) or more.
