WOOTON AND STANDLEY FLORA OF NEW MEXICO. 549 



Leaves pinnatifid or pinnate; spikes slender, inter- 

 rupted. 

 Leaves, at least the basal ones, obovate-oblanceo- 



late, the segments 5 mm. broad or more 8. V. neomexicana.

1. Verbena wrightii A. Gray, Syn. Fl. 2^: 337. 1878. 



Type locality: "Near Frontera, on the borders of Texas, and adjacent New Mexico 

 and Chihuahua." 



Range: Western Texas to southern Arizona and southward. 



New Mexico: San Rafael; Sandia Mountains; Mangas Springs; Datil; Magdalena 

 Mountains; Socorro; Black Range; Burro Mountains; Organ Mountains; White Moun- 

 tains; Mesilla Valley. Mountains and foothills, in the Upper Sonoran and Transition 

 zones. 



The plants here listed are the common erect plant of the region from which 

 V. xvrightii was described, but they do not agree with Doctor Gray's original descrip- 

 tion in the characters "stems simple below" and "from an annual root." We know 

 of no single-stemmed Verbena from the region, and V. wrightii is probably a shoit- 

 lived perennial, flowering the first year. Its erect habit and rose purple flowers 

 are very distinctive.
