	Reviewer's comments:
	"The stem is not 5-angled. The banner is not visibly dark-lined in its lower center. The corolla is silky. 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. Stems: unarmed, deciduous, slender grayish branches, nearly leafless; multi-stemmed, with branch diameters to 6 in (15 cm). Leaves: small, simple or rarely trifoliate, blades generally linear or linear-spatulate, silky. Inflorescence: flowers in short lateral racemes. Flowers: papilionaceous, white, fragrant; corolla silky, 0.4-0.6 in (10-17 mm); calyx 2-lipped 0.12-0.2 in (3-5 mm), with upper lip deeply 2-parted; style incurved, purple; keel cuspidate. Fruit: a legume; pod broadly oval, 1-2 seeded, dehiscent (Bailey 1933, Tutin et al. 1980). Genista monosperma: - See page 43 - https://www.sandag.org/uploads/meetingid/meetingid_4936_24560.pdf - https://www.occnps.org/invasives/watch-list-species.html - https://plantright.org/invasive/genista-monosperma/ Cytisus multiflorus: https://www.cal-ipc.org/plants/risk/cytisus-multiflorus-risk/"
