Fabaceae - syn. Sarothamnus scoparius (L.) Wimmer ex Koch; common broom, Scotch broom, Besenginster

Erect shrub, native in Europe, 0.50-2m high; twigs green, 5-squared; leaves trifoliate, simple on young shoots; flowers bright yellow, axillary, solitary or in pairs.

„C. scoparius has been introduced into several other continents outside its native range and is classified as a noxious invasive species in California and the Pacific Northwest in North America, in Australia, New Zealand and India…
The characteristic constituents are biogenic amines (mostly tyramine in the young shoots), flavonoids (spiraeoside and scoparoside), isoflavones and their glycosides (genistin), as well as allelopathic quinolizidine alkaloids (mostly sparteine, lupanine, scoparin and hydroxy-derivatives).“

„Sparteine is a class 1a antiarrhythmic agent; a sodium channel blocker. It is an alkaloid and can be extracted from scotch broom … containing a tetracyclic bis-quinolizidine ring system derived from three C5 chains of lysine, or more specifically, L-lysine.“
