Description
PLATE VIII Marina palmeri (Rose) Barneby and M. parryi (T. & G.) Barneby, herbaceous or ultimately suffruticose plants reaching a height of one meter but mostly much smaller, with warty stems often glaucescent in age, thick-textured, green or gray-strigulose foliage, and gland-sprinkled petals. The flowers of both are commonly bicolored, with a purple stripe down the inner half of all the petals, but in M. parryi sometimes all blue. The range of the very variable M. parryi is almost coextensive with the boundaries of the Sonoran Desert; it extends from the Colorado and southeastern Mohave deserts in California and the Gila Basin in Arizona s. through Sonora to the neighborhood of Guaymas, and through Baja California to La Paz. The closely related but more glabrous and smaller-flowered M. palmeri follows the Sierra Madre piedmont from the Rio Mayo in s. Sonora to near Mazatlan in Sinaloa (± 23° 50'-27° S.), where it is an inhabitant of the drought-deciduous thorn-scrub and Short-tree Forest. Both species are adapted to withstand long periods of drought and flower irregularly following rains. — Habit × 1; the rest × 5. M. palmeri: 1) flowering branchlet; 2) leaflets; 3) flower; 4) banner, profile and ventral views; 5) wing; 6) keel; 7) androecium; 8) fruiting calyx; 9) pod. M. parryi: 1) raceme + leaf (the peduncle longer than usual); 2) leaflets; 3) flower; 4) banner, profile and ventral views; 5) wing; 6) keel; 7) androecium; 8) fruiting calyx; 9) pod.
