Description
PLATE II Errazurizia benthami (Brandg.) Jtn. and E. rotundata (Woot.) Barneby, dwarf gnarled shrubs with aromatically glandular, ashen-hairy foliage and relatively few- flowered spikes of sessile calyces. The pale yellow flower of E. benthami is essentially like that of related species shown in Plate I, but the plant differs in its indurated-spinose stipules, few leaflets, and capitate stigma surmounting a glandless style. The range of E. benthami lies along the Pacific shore of Baja California and adjoining islands, where it flowers at irregular intervals following rains. The flower of E. rotundata is either apetalous or rarely contains hidden within the calyx-tube a vestigial, dorsally pubescent banner, but in place of a showy perianth has a conspicuously exserted tassel of stamens. The very numerous small round leaflets diminishing upward along the stiff leaf-rachis and the habitat on red sandstone of the Colorado canyonlands in northern Arizona set E. rotundata apart from all Amorpheae. — Branches with fruits × 1; the rest × 5. E. benthami: 1) fruiting branchlet; 2) stipules; 3) flower + bracts; 4) banner, ventral view; 5) inner petals; 6) androecium; 7) ovary; 8) pod; 9) seed, ventral view. E. rotundata: 1) fruiting branch; 2) stipules; 3) leaflet, dorsal view; 4) flower + bract; 5) banner, half-profile and ventral views; 6) androecium; 7) pod; 8) seed, ventral and lateral views.
