Discussion
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.
