is nearest to A. fragrans, but the narrow involucral bracts

Abronia Carletoni, n. sp.—Stems procumbent, slender, 
whitish, minutely glandular, 2.5 to. 4 dm. long: leaves very 
thick, linear-oblong or oblong-ovate, with cuneate base and

attenuate or cuspidate bracts, and the perianth and its lobes 
‘not so deeply cut.
