Description
PLATE XII Marina minor (Rose) Barneby and M. procumbens (S. & M. ex DC.) Barneby are diffuse perennial herbs with glabrous leaflets but stems pubescent at least beyond the middle, and particolored flowers, the gland-sprinkled banner opening whitish but rubescent, the wings and keel whitish or pinkish in the outer half, rose-purple in the inner. The winter-flowering M. minor (November-February), local below 1400 m along the Sierra Madre piedmont in Sinaloa and adjoining Durango, has stiffly prostrate stems 3-9 dm long strigulose distally with subappressed hairs, flowers ascending from the axils of persistent bracts, and a glabrous calyx-tube gland-charged only about the orifice. It should be compared with nearly sympatric M. goldmani (Plate XIII). The relatively common M. procumbens, widely but interruptedly dispersed in arid grassland from the Bajio in Guanajuato s.-e. to Oaxaca and Chiapas, is the only species of its type in southern Mexico. It flowers in summer and early fall (June to November), has pliantly humifuse stems 3-5 dm long, pilosulous throughout with spreading or subretrorse hairs, bracts as a rule promptly deciduous, flowers early declined or nodding, and calyx both pilosulous and gland-charged upward from near the base. — Inflorescence × 1; the rest × 5. M. minor: 1) top of flowering stems; 2) stipules; 3) leaflets; 4) flower; 5) banner, profile and ventral views; 6) wing; 7) keel; 8) fruiting calyx; 9) androecium; 10) pod. M. procumbens: 1) part of flowering stem; 2) stipules; 3) leaflets; 4) flower; 5) banner, ventral and profile views; 6) wing; 7) keel; 8) fruiting calyx; 9) androecium; 10) pod.
