Are Crotalaria and Genista both types of shrubs?
Crotalaria Crotalaria is a genus of herbaceous plants and woody shrubs in the Family Fabaceae (Subfamily Faboideae) commonly known as rattlepods. The "Crotalaria" genus includes about 500 species of herbs and shrubs. Africa is the continent with a majority of "Crotalaria" species (approximately 400 species). "Crotalaria" are mainly found in damp grassland, especially in floodplains, depressions and along edges of swamps and rivers, but also in deciduous bush land, roadsides and fields. Some species of "Crotalaria" are grown as ornamentals. The common name rattlepod or rattlebox is derived from the fact that the seeds become loose in the pod as they mature, and rattle when the pod is shaken. The name derives from the Ancient Greek κρόταλον , meaning "castanet", and is the same root as the name for the rattlesnakes ("Crotalus").
Crotalaria juncea Crotalaria juncea, known as brown hemp, Indian hemp, Madras hemp, or sunn hemp, is a tropical Asian plant of the legume family (Fabaceae). It is generally considered to have originated in India.
