About Genista scorpius (L.) DC.

Note: Lopez Gonzalez (in Taxon 45: 699, 1996) put forward a proposal to conserve the name with a conserved type, aiming to restore the use of the name as it was before 1984. Nevertheless, the Committee for Spermatophyta did not recommend this proposal (in Taxon 48: 364, 1999).
