About Dalea albiflora A.Gray
Dalea albiflora, commonly known as whiteflower prairie clover or scruffy prairie clover, is a perennial subshrub or herb that belongs to the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family (Fabaceae). This species occurs in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, specifically in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Sonora, and Chihuahua. Whiteflower prairie clover is a low-lying subshrub with spreading horizontal gray-green pinnate leaves. It produces vertical flowers arranged in multiple inflorescences. Both its flowers and leaves are extremely oily and resinous, and leave a perfume-like odor on any surface they contact, including hands and boots.
