Description
PLATE XCIII Dalea cinnamomea Barneby and D. tomentosa (Cav.) Willd. var. mota Barneby. The var. mota, a silvery pubescent shrub with conelike heads of small lavender flowers, endemic to the w. slope of the Sierra Madre in s. Sonora and Sinaloa, is part of a widely dispersed species illustrated further on Plate XCIV. The softly tomentulose D. cinnamomea, at first merely suffruticose but becoming an awkwardly and irregularly branching shrub attaining a stature of 2.5 m, is known only from brushy hill country at ± 1200-1500 m in w. Puebla and adjoining Morelos. The dense heads of flower develop in the dry season, starting in October and continuing into winter. The petals open brownish-pink and fade to a cinnamon-brown, a color known in no other dalea. Leaves deflexed at base but incurving distally seem characteristic of the species.— Inflorescences × 1; the rest × 5. D. cinnamomea: 1) summit branch; 2) leaflet, dorsal view; 3) bract, dorsal view; 4) flower; 5) calyx, laid open; 6) banner, half-profile and ventral views; 7) wing; 8) keel; 9) androecium. D. tomentosa var. mota: 1) part of panicle; 2) bract, ventral view; 3) flower; 4) calyx, laid open; 5) banner, ventral view; 6) keel.
