14. Astragalus humistratus A. Gray, Pl. Wright. 2: 43. 1853. 
Tium humistratum Rydb. Colo. Agr. Exp. Sta. Bull. 100: 205, 1906. 
Typr Locaury: ‘‘Pebbly bed of a stream, and on hills under pine trees, near the 
Copper Mines,’” New Mexico. Type collected by Wright (no. 1003). 
Rance: Mountains of Colorado and Utah to New Mexico and Arizona. 
New Mexico: Dulce; Pecos; Santa Rita; White Mountains; Black Range. Tran- 
sition Zone. 
This species is fairly common in the southern part of the State and in Arizona, It 
is associated with a nearly related species in New Mexico and with two close rela- 
tives in Arizona, As here treated, A. humistratus is the form having deeply sulcate, 
somewhat recurved pods, thinly villous to glabrate leaflets, and not very conspicu- 
ousstipules. Astragalus sonorae is the close relative common in southern New Mexico. 
It has herbage persistently white-silky throughout, with conspicuous white, connate 
stipules, and a somewhat shorter pod than A. humistratus, described as not sulcate, 
but not infrequently dorsally sulcate and recurved, though generally not so pro- 
nouncedly so as that of A. humistratus. On account of the pod characters originally 
given, these two species are usually widely separated in the lists of species, but 
they are very closely related. The other nearly related species is A. hosackiae Greene.
