PLANTS FROM BAJA CALIFORNIA. 147 



Dalea FORMOSA ToiT. The specimens diifer from the 

 type in having only 3-7 oval or elliptical entire leaflets, the 

 stipellar glands blunt instead of acute, and slight pubes- 

 cence on the leaves, petioles and young shoots. — San Este- 

 ban. 



Dalea Emoryi Gray. In these specimens the foliage and 

 pubescence of the species appears to be remarkably variable. 

 The plant from El Campo Aleman is densely ]anate 

 throughout, that from San Luis approaches the ordinary 

 form, while that from Santa Maria has become glabrous on 

 all exposed parts excepting the inflorescence. The leaves of 

 all, though varying much in size, have the same prolonged 

 terminal leaflet, which in the upper leaves is the only one. 

 — Cajon de Santa Maria, San Luis, El Campo Aleman.
