Dalea hallii is endemic to central and north-central Texas from the edge of the Edwards Plateau from as far south as Bandera County northward to Fannin County along the Red River. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Varieties 9 (1 in the flora). R. C. Barneby (1977c) recognized nine varieties in Dalea carthagenensis, a complex and polymorphic species. The eight varieties found outside the flora area occur in Mexico, West Indies, Central America, and South America. The calyces of D. carthagenensis sometimes have slightly hooked lobes when mature, a feature used to distinguish D. scandens; the two species are allopatric.
