[No etymology stated in protologue; meaning uncertain]
Bruce G. Baldwin, John L. Strother
Annuals, subshrubs, or shrubs, 4–120(–150) cm. Stems usually ± erect, rarely decumbent. Leaves mostly cauline (annuals forming winter-spring rosettes, usually withering by flowering); proximal opposite, most alternate; sessile; blades oblanceolate to linear or lance-linear, usually pinnatifid or toothed, sometimes serrate or entire, faces often hirsute or hispid-hirsute, sometimes villous, pilose, pubescent, canescent, strigose, or scabrous (often sessile- or stipitate-glandular as well) or glabrous (with scabrous or hispid margins). Heads radiate, usually in corymbiform or ± paniculiform arrays, sometimes in racemiform arrays or in glomerules. Peduncular bracts: pit-glands, tack-glands, and spines 0. Involucres ± obconic, campanulate, hemispheric, or urceolate, 2 –13+ mm diam. Phyllaries falling, 3–35 in 1 series (± lanceolate to lance-attenuate or oblanceolate, herbaceous, each usually 1/2 enveloping subtended ray floret proximally, abaxially ± hirsute and sessile- or stipitate-glandular). Receptacles flat to convex, glabrous or setulose, paleate (paleae falling, in 1 series between rays and disc in annuals, in 2–3+ series or subtending all or most disc florets in subshrubs and shrubs, connate or distinct, phyllary-like, more scarious). Ray florets 3–35, pistillate, fertile; corollas deep or pale yellow. Disc florets 3–70, usually functionally staminate, seldom bisexual and fertile; corollas yellow, tubes shorter than or about equaling funnelform throats, lobes 5, deltate (anthers usually reddish to dark purple or yellow, rarely maroon; styles glabrous proximal to branches). Ray cypselae slightly obcompressed (adaxial sides flatter than abaxials), clavate (abaxially gibbous, often ± arcuate, basal attachments oblique, apices ± beaked, beaks offset adaxially, ascending, faces glabrous); pappi 0. Disc cypselae usually 0; pappi (of disc florets) usually of 1–15 elliptic, lance-linear, lanceolate, linear, oblong, quadrate, setiform, or subulate, entire, erose, fimbriate, fringed, or laciniate scales, sometimes 0 or coroniform (crowns of ± linear, sometimes fimbriate scales). x = 12 or 13.
Species 21 (16 in the flora): w United States, nw Mexico.
Deinandra is treated here as distinct from Hemizonia; Deinandra is more closely related to Calycadenia, Centromadia, Holocarpha, and Osmadenia than to Hemizonia in the strict sense (S. Carlquist et al. 2003). As circumscribed here (following B. G. Baldwin 1999b), Deinandra comprises all taxa included in Hemizonia sect. Madiomeris by B. D. Tanowitz (1982) plus the shrubs and subshrubs constituting the informal "Fruticosae" or "Zonamra" (J. Clausen 1951; D. D. Keck 1959b). All are self-incompatible except D. arida and D. mohavensis. Five species (D. frutescens, D. greeneana, D. martirensis, D. palmeri, D. streetsii), none annuals, are known only from Baja California, Mexico. Most species north of Mexico are cross-incompatible or ± intersterile (J. Clausen 1951).
