Spartum

Spartium junceum, known as Spanish broom, rush broom, or weaver’s broom, (partion the burloid, Spartium junceum) is an angiosperm, dicotyledonous plant, which belongs to the order of Cyamodes and the family of Chedropos or Cyamoids, which is characterized by the pentamerous zygomorphic flowers in the shape of a butterfly.
It is the only species of the genus and is a shrub native to the Mediterranean region and reaches a height of up to three meters. It has long, thin, pointed shoots that are almost bare, leafless. Its flowers are yellow in color, fragrant and form bodria. It blooms from mid-April until June, although sometimes the flowering can be extended until August. The Sparto during its flowering period paints the semi-mountainous areas bright yellow, giving the impression of a painted landscape. Its fruit is hedropa, when it ripens, it scatters the seeds.
Their stems are used in making baskets and straw hats. In the past it was used for the production of silk, which had the property of not being attacked by any insect, and textiles of exceptional strength.
