 the somewhat decumbent stems 2 to 4 inches high from a branching woody 

 base: leaflets 3, oblanceolate or oblong, half an inch long, equalling the 

 petioles: spikes sessile, ovate to oblong, rather dense, very villous with 

 long silky hairs ; bracts lanceolate, acuminate, about equalling the long 

 plumose calyx-teeth, which much exceed the tube : petals yellowish or rose- 

 colored, 5 lines long, scarcely exceeding the calyx. — New Mexico; western 

 part of the Territory, Loew (189), locality not given. 



Dalea Wislizeni, Gray (PI. Fendl. 32).— Shrubby, with slender vir- 

 gate branches, pubescent, a foot high or more : leaflets 7 to 9 pairs, oblong, 

 obtuse, smoother above, 2 lines long or less: spikes short-ovate or oblong, 

 dense, long-pedunculate, silky-villous ; bracts lanceolate, long-acuminate, 

 equalling the calyx : teeth of the calyx setaceous, plumose, a little longer 

 than the tube, with a narrow tooth on each side: petals rose-colored, 4 or 5 

 lines long, twice longer than the calyx, with solitary glands near the top. — 

 New Mexico to Sonora ; Southern Arizona, Rothrock (594).

 to 3 feet high, with spreading flexuous branches, glabrous or nearly so: 

 leaflets 3 to 5 pairs, cuneate-oblong, rarely 2 lines long, often very small and 

 revolute: flowers few and spreading, in short spikes; bracts caducous: 

 calyx very silky-villous, the setaceous plumose teeth longer than the tube 

 and nearly equalling the corolla : petals deep rose-color, very unequal, the 

 keel half an inch long. — New Mexico and Arizona ; Camp Bowie, Roth-
