| Abstract | Scotch, French, Spanish, and Portuguese brooms were introduced into the western United States from Europe and the Mediterranean region in the mid- 1800s to stabilize mine tailings and other erosion and for landscaping. They now grow from western British Columbia to California (Figures 4a–d, following pages). The flowers had medicinal uses, and stems were used to make brooms, thus the name. |
