Dalea
''Dalea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. Members of the genus are commonly known as prairie clover or indigo bush. Its name honors English apothecary Samuel Dale (1659–1739). They are native to the Western hemisphere, where they are distributed from Canada to Argentina. Nearly half of the known species are endemic to Mexico. Two species of ''Dalea'' (''Dalea ornata'' and ''Dalea searlsiae'') have been considered for rangeland restoration. Species ''Dalea'' comprises the following species: * '' Dalea abietifolia'' (Rydb.) Bullock * '' Dalea acracarpica'' Barneby * '' Dalea adenopoda'' (Rydb.) Isely—Tampa prairie clover * '' Dalea aenigma'' Barneby * '' Dalea albiflora'' A. Gray—whiteflower prairie clover * '' Dalea ananassa'' Barneby * '' Dalea antana'' J.F. Macbr. * '' Dalea arenicola'' (Wemple) B.L. Turner * '' Dalea aurea'' C. Fraser—golden prairie clover * '' Dalea austrotexana'' B.L.Turner * ''Dalea ayavacens ...

Dalea Austrotexana
''Dalea austrotexana'', common name dune dalea, is a plant species endemic to southern Texas. It is known only from Jim Hogg, Brooks, Cameron, Kenedy and Starr Counties, all at the very southern tip of the state. The species prefers sandy locations such as coastal dunes or sand flats. ''Dalea austrotexana'' is trailing, perennial herb with woody, orange taproots. Stems lay prostrate on the ground. Leaves are odd-pinnate, up to 2 cm (0.8 inches) long. Flowers are pale purple. Fruits are about 2.5 mm (0.1 inch) long, densely hairy. The species appears related to '' D. lanata''; indeed, herbarium A herbarium (plural: herbaria) is a collection of preserved plant specimens and associated data used for scientific study.

Dalea Candida
''Dalea candida'' is a species of flowering plant in the legume family known by the common name white prairie clover. It is native to North America, where it can be found throughout central Canada, the central United States, and northern Mexico. It can sometimes be found outside its range as an introduced species. It grows in many types of habitat, including several types of prairie, foothills, woods, forests, and disturbed areas. It is a perennial herb growing erect to a maximum height around , its taproot growing up to deep. The alternately arranged leaves are each composed of several narrow, gland-dotted, light green leaflets. The inflorescence is a dense cylindrical spike of flowers at the tip of each stem or stem branch. The spike is packed with the pointed green calyces of sepals, the lower ones bearing corollas of white petals and the higher ones blooming later. The fruit is a green oval legume pod containing one seed. A specimen of this species was collected by Meriwe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dalea Aurea
''Dalea aurea'', commonly called golden prairie clover, is a species of flowering plant in the legume family ( Fabaceae). It is native to North America, where it is found in the Great Plains and southwestern United States, and in the state of Coahuila Coahuila (), formally Coahuila de Zaragoza (), officially the Free and Sovereign State of Coahuila de Zaragoza ( es, Estado Libre y Soberano de Coahuila de Zaragoza), is one of the 32 states of Mexico. Coahuila borders the Mexican states of N ..., Mexico. Its natural habitat is in silty or gravelly prairies, often over limestone. It is an herbaceous perennial, with pinnate-compound leaves. It produces yellow flowers in spring and early summer.

Dalea Albiflora
''Dalea albiflora'', the whiteflower prairie clover or scruffy prairie clover, is a perennial subshrub or herb of the subfamily Faboideae in the pea family-( Fabaceae). It is found in the southwestern United States and Northwestern Mexico in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Sonora, and Chihuahua. Whiteflower prairie clover is a low-lying subshrub with horizontal spreading gray-green pinnate leaves. The flowers are vertical with multiple inflorescences; both flowers and leaves are extremely oily and resinous, and leave perfume-like odors on any surface: hands, boots, etc. Western Sonoran Desert specifics In the western Sonoran Desert of southwest Arizona, scruffy prairie clover can be found throughout flatland mesa A mesa is an isolated, flat-topped elevation, ridge or hill, which is bounded from all sides by steep escarpments and stands distinctly above a surrounding plain.

Dahlia
Dahlia (, ) is a genus of bushy, tuberous, herbaceous perennial plants native to Mexico and Central America. A member of the Asteraceae (former name: Compositae) family of dicotyledonous plants, its garden relatives thus include the sunflower, daisy, chrysanthemum, and zinnia. There are 49 species of this genus, with hybrids commonly grown as garden plants. Flower forms are variable, with one head per stem; these can be as small as diameter or up to ("dinner plate"). This great variety results from dahlias being octoploids—that is, they have eight sets of homologous chromosomes, whereas most plants have only two. In addition, dahlias also contain many transposons—genetic pieces that move from place to place upon an allele—which contributes to their manifesting such great diversity. The stems are leafy, ranging in height from as low as to more than . The majority of species do not produce scented flowers. Like most plants that do not attract pollinating insects ...
