Description
PLATE XVIII Marina melilotina Barneby and M. pueblensis (Bdg.) Barneby are wiry, fall-flowering annuals with relatively few pairs of leaflets, pectinately ciliolate calyces, and open racemes of vivid magenta-purple flowers. The plants occur colonially in arid scrub and grassland below 1600 m in the eastern part of the Balsas Depression and in the Tehuacan desert, in Morelos and adjoining Puebla and Guerrero, and in northern Oaxaca. The tall, erect M. melilotina is glabrous below the pedicels, has large, showy flowers, and bracts that fall away early from the swelling flower-buds. The more slender, commonly diffuse, tiny-flowered M. pueblensis has puberulent stems and raceme- axis, and the brown, glumaceous bracts persist in place even after the pedicels and ripe fruits are shed.— Habit × 1; pods ×10; the rest × 5. M. melilotina: 1) branch of panicle; 2) leaflet, dorsal view; 3) flower; 4) banner, ventral and profile views; 5) wing; 6) keel; 7) androecium; 8) pod. M. pueblensis: 1) branch of panicle; 2) stipules + leaf-base; 3) leaflets; 4) flower; 5) fruiting calyx; 6) banner, ventral and profile views; 7) wing; 8) keel; 9) androecium; 10) pod.
