Description
PLATE LV Dalea multiflora (Nuttall) Shinners and D. foliosa (Gray) Barneby, glabrous prairie- clovers of centr. and s.-centr. United States, are herbs about 3-7 dm tall, flowering in summer and early fall. Both have green foliage and hard, conelike spikes of calyces, each subtended by a pair of bracteolar spicules. The white-flowered D. multiflora, a relatively common plant dispersed from the Gulf Coast and Edwards Plateau in Texas to Kansas and w. Missouri, also southward feebly into n.-e. Mexico, differs from D. Candida (Pl. LVII) in its subglobose or shortly oblong spikes combined with 3-6 pairs of leaflets in the larger cauline leaves. The purple-flowered D. foliosa of central Tennessee and adjoining Alabama, where it forms part of the calciphile cedar-glade flora, and of river-bluffs and -gravels in n. Illinois, differs from all related species in its many expanded leaflets. — Habit × 1; the rest × 5. D. multiflora: 1) top and middle-segment of stem; 2) stipules; 3) flower + bract; 4) bract, ventral view; 5) petals, all from different plants; 6) fruiting calyx; 7) pod. D. foliosa: 1) top of stem; 2) stipules; 3) bract, ventral view; 4) flower-bud + bract; 5) flower + bract, profile view; 6) flower, ventral view; 7) banner, ventral view; 8) epistemonous petal; 9) androecium + gynoecium; 10) fruiting calyx + pod.
