Coronilla glauca (also C. valentina subsp. glauca) is a small evergreen shrub with fragrant yellow flowers. Common names for the species include Sea-green, or Day-smelling Coronilla. Linnaeus has observed, that the flowers, which in the day time are remarkably fragrant, in the night are almost without scent.[1] It is native to the Mediterranean region.
