Coronilla valentina

Coronilla valentina, the shrubby scorpion-vetch or scorpion vetch, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Coronilla of the legume family Fabaceae, native to Portugal, Spain, Malta and Croatia (Dalmatia). It is an evergreen shrub growing to 80 cm (31 in) tall and wide, with pea-like foliage and fragrant, brilliant yellow flowers in spring and summer, followed by slender pods. Linnaeus observed that the flowers, remarkably fragrant in the daytime, are almost scentless at night.
