The usually calciphile M. minutiflora, with remotely few-flowered racemes and a pod covered with very numerous small glands, extends from Morelos into central Oaxaca. The closely related M. stilligera is found chiefly on volcanic soils, has more crowded racemes of more numerous flowers, and a pod charged with only a few, very large fragile glands that release a yellow oil when pressed; its range extends from Morelos w. through the Neovolcanic Belt into Michoacan. Note also the differently shaped vexilla. Branchlets X 1; leaflets × 5; flowers and pods × 10. M. minutiflora: 1) flowering branch; 2) leaflet, dorsal view; 3) flower; 4) fruiting calyx; 5) banner, ventral and profile views; 6) wing; 7) keel; 8) pod. M. stilligera: 1) flowering branch; 2) leaflet, dorsal view; 3) flower + bract; 4) fruiting calyx + pod; 5) banner, ventral view; 6) keel; 7) pod.
