		Broom snakeweed is a bushy, short-lived, native, perennial shrub or subshrub that grows from 8 to 28 inches (20-70 cm) in height [1,43,62,95,71].
		Broom snakeweed, a weak-sprouting perennial, is severely damaged by fire [9].

	Leporidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Members of all genera except Lepus are usually referred to as rabbits, while members of Lepus (which accounts for almost half the species) are usually called hares.
		However the distinction between these two common names does not map completely into current taxonomy, since the jackrabbits are members of Lepus, and members of the genera Pronolagus and Caprolagus are sometimes called hares.
		Leporids are native across the world except in Oceania where their introduction is an important threat for the native mammals in Australia.

		Benefit(s): Because broom is leafless from late summer to early spring, it allows light to reach later-arriving successional plants; this may make it preferable in disturbed areas to other early successional plants, such as gorse.
		Scotch broom is still continuing to spread more than 150 years after first being introduced to North America, as evidenced by reports of its range expansion to the east of the Cascade Mountains.
		Several species of insects known to control Scotch broom in its native habitats have been introduced in California; none of these have shown long-term effectiveness, but several species remain to be tried and this may eventually prove to be a good method of control..

		Although Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparuis) and French broom (Genista monspessulana) are both common and aggressive invaders of the California landscapes, Canary Island broom is not in fact being rather rare.
		The taxonomy is further complicated by the promiscuous tendencies of broom to interbreed, so much that most of the California plants are hybrids.
		Canary Island broom has a banner ten to twelve millimetres long and is glabrous except for a V-shaped hairy area from the base to the tip.

		In addition, Scotch broom is highly flammable, and increases vulnerability of native plants and butterflies to high intensity fires.
		In British Columbia, Scotch broom is implicated specifically in the extirpation of at least one population, the Shawnigan Lake to Mill Bay Road population (Shepard, 2000).
		Furthermore, broom was also implicated in the extirpation of E. taylori at the site Polk-1 and may threaten the only remaining E.

		A band of bone composed of the jugal and the squamosal is adjacent to the lateral temporal fenestra (Broom, 1932; Kemp, 1982; Carroll, 1988).
		The Middle Triassic forms are from South America (Romer, 1969a, 1969b, 1970b, 1973; Romer and Lewis, 1973; Bonaparte and Barbarena, 1975), and the Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic mammals are known from Eurasia (Kermack, Mussett, and Rigney, 1973, 1981; Kemp, 1982).
		Successively, the relative proportion of the lower jaw comprised of the dentary bone (teeth-bearing bone) gradually increased until the entire lower jaw consisted of the dentary (Kemp, 1982; Sloan, 1983; Carroll, 1988; Hopson, 1987, 1994).

		This tends to produce witches brooms which are large and conspicuous (Figs 6-7) but the host branch is not especially swollen at the point of infection.
		Generally speaking, the type of witches broom formation is characteristic of the dwarf mistletoe rather than the host plant and broom type is an important taxonomic characteristic.
		In other situations however, such as the juniper forests of Balochistan, it is the late seral species that is infected Witches brooms caused by dwarf mistletoes tend to be highly flammable.

		The fungus causes witches' brooms, that is, an excessive proliferation of twigs from a single point on a branch.
		Although the infected needles are shed each year, the disease persists in the woody tissues of the witches' broom; hence, the new shoots become infected year after year.
		The witches' broom deformity caused by the disease has fuelled a number of stories about woods being haunted by wicked witches.

		Observations by Kirby-Smith (1970) indicated that pumping was continuous; however, the investigator suggested that rate and duration of feeding may be modified according to food particle densities.
		In contrast, the bay scallop is distinctly right convex; that is, the right valve is more rounded than the left (Broom 1976).

		The left-right, liberal-conservative taxonomies of the political spectrum fail because they are linear and lacking in subtlety.

	CSIRO PUBLISHING - Australasian Plant Pathology
		The fungus Fusarium tumidum, a naturally occurring pathogen of gorse (Ulex europaeus) and broom (Cytisus scoparius) in New Zealand, is being evaluated as a potential bioherbicide against these weeds.
		However, only plants in the same tribe as gorse and broom, such as tree lupin (Lupinus arboreus) and tree lucerne (Chamaecytisus palmensis), and one plant from the same subfamily (young white clover, Trifolium repens), showed levels of necrosis similar to the target weeds in response to infection by F.
		The fungus generally had less effect on more distantly related legumes that are native in New Zealand, or are used there as economic crops or as cover crops in plantation forests.

		The former is a fundamental reference for bird behaviour, distribution, movement and habitat use, and its approach to taxonomy, sequence and nomenclature is sensible, accommodating and incorporation of changes generally in accordance with the majority of research opinion.
		Clements’ acceptance changes in taxonomy, sequence and nomenclature from BWP(C) may seem radical and widespread to many, but they have been criticised by some DNA researchers as too conservative.
		Compact flocks of 16-86 (maximum count, Little Loch Broom 4 Feb) were recorded at 6 of 8 locations, over 280 birds in total.

		Spruce brooms are often associated with stem deformations, reduced increment growth, broken tops, and tree mortality.
		Rust brooms also serve as infection courts for decay fungi such as Phellinus pini contributing to increased levels of damage.
		However, distinguishing features of the rust are the complete loss of needles in the winter and the yellow-orange colour of the broom in the spring and summer.

		They can also be gently vacuumed up using a less powerful vacuum.
		(The beetles should never be swept, since the broom can rupture their bodies, and their blood smells).
		If the beetles are trapped in a clean vacuum bag, they can be stored in a cool spot and released in the spring.
