Benth., Bot. Toy. Sulphur 14. 1844
Calliandra califomica Benth. Ooldm.CNH 16: 332. 1916 Widely distributed in the Peninsula. Flowering specimens were collected at San Fernando, September 4; on Margarita Island, November 29; and between Santa Anita and Miraflores, January 19. It was an abundant species along much of our route, especially in the foothills of the mountains in the Cape District south of La Paz. It forms a shrub 1 to 2 meters high and seems to prefer rather sterile, stony hillsides. The species is recorded by Brandegee from San José del Cabo and from Magdalena and Margarita islands northward to San Borja. LoW6r Calif «
