Remarks138 to B. [specimen 138 to Bentham. Gray wrote Wright field #462 on the label, but the locality for that number is "high prairie near the Nueces", and Wright identified it as a Dalea. Field #422 matches the locality in the protologue, and was identified by Wright as Leguminosae. It seems likely that Gray made a mistake here.]
