Dalea mollis

 Dalea mollis (hairy prairie clover) ( )

Fabaceae

  • The hairy prairie clover is common in the California desert areas and it is similar to silky dalea (Dallea mollisima) but with leaflet margins that are entire and flat, as opposed to silky dalea which has leaflet margins that are shallowly lobed or wavy. Hairy prairie clover favor sandier and lower elevation habitats that silky dalea. Although both species are relatively uncommon in dry years, they germinate and densely cover desert flats in years with abundant rainfall and are important for the nitrogen they fix.
