Description
PLATE LXXXII Dalea cylindrica Hooker var. nova (Ulbrich) Barneby and D. weberbaueri Ulbrich, suffrutescent Andean daleas variable in stature and habit, alike in the bicoloured flowers and dorsally glabrous, gland-dotted banner. They are sympatric through intermontane valleys of Peru from Junin n. to Cajamarca, there reaching the Pacific slope, and the var. nova extending thence n. into Ecuador. The latter, part of a complex species further illustrated in PL. LXXVIII, has green foliage, a calyx thinly pilose externally except toward the tips of the exceptionally firm and stiff-ribbed calyx-teeth, and epistemonous petals vivid blue (in this resembling the also sympatric D. coerulea, Pl. LXXIX, different in the plumose and longer teeth). The foliage of D. weberbaueri is at least when young gray-pilose or silvery-silky, the calyx is finely ribbed and pubescent throughout, and the epistemonous petals are more often purple than blue. Two varieties of D. weberbaueri have been described, the typical with greenish-gray leaflets and short-tailed bracts, and var. sericophylla (Ulbr.) Barneby with permanently silky leaflets and long-tailed bracts. — Habit × 1; the rest × 5. D. cylindrica var. nova: 1) flowering branchlet; 2) stipules; 3) flower + bract; 4) banner, ventral view; 5) fruiting calyx; 6) pod. D. weberbaueri var. weberbaueri: 1) flowering branchlet; 2) stipules; 3) leaflets; 4) flower + bract; 5) banner, ventral and profile views; 6) androecium. D. weberbaueri var. sericophylla: 7) interfloral bract.
