Sepals 1.5–4 mm; hypanthium  Structure generally in the shape of a tube, cup, or bowl, derived from the fused lower portions of the perianth and stamens, from which these parts seem to arise, and to which the ovary wall is fused in an inferior ovary (to which the ovary wall is partially fused in a half-inferior ovary; from which the ovary is free in a superior ovary). 1–1.5 mm; stigma ± = anthers; inflorescence erect  Upright; vertically oriented. ; lateral leaflets < 30 mm .....

An incompletely developed, more or less embryonic shoot, usually covered with bud scales. 2. An unopened flower, often protected by sepals. reflexed  Abruptly bent or curved downward or backward. ; petals generally fading red ..... subsp. arizonica 7' Flower bud not reflexed; petals not fading red 8' Plant strigose  With stiff, straight, sharp, appressed hairs.
