8. Parosela hemsleyana Rose, 1. c, p. 104. 



A shrub with numerous long slender purplish branches closely set 

 with glandular knobs, glabrous; leaves small; leaflets 9 to 15, 2 to 3 mm 

 long, obtuse, glabrous on both sides, very glandular-dotted beneath: 

 peduncles slender; inflorescence a compact head; bracts broad; calyx 

 silky, about 4 mm long, including the lobes; lobes about two-thirds the 

 length of the tube; corolla purplish. 



Type U. S. National Herbarium no. 24436, collected by Parry and 

 Palmer near San Luis Potosi, 1878 (no. 154). This is reported in 

 the Biologia Centrali- Americana as Dalea ramosissima Benth., from which 

 I think it is abundantly distinct. D. ramosissima, a Lower Californian 

 species, has recently been collected by Mr. Brandegee and accords with 

 Benthams original description and excellent figure. Bentham's name 

 must give way to the older one of Martius and Galeotti.

 9 mm long, pubescent on both sides when young but early glabrate 

 especially above, rounded at each end, apiculate, paler beneath, thickly
