Notes: This species can become somewhat large and bushy under favorable circumstances, look to the pubescent columnar or rounded inflorescences tightly packed with bright purple to pink flowers with exserted stamens with bright yellow anthers to help identify this species. Look for this plant in Arizona in Mohave, Coconino, and Yavapai counties. Ethnobotany: Specific uses for this species are unknown, but other species in the genus have uses; species used for food. Etymology: Dalea is named after Samuel Dale (1659-1739), an English physician, botanist and botanical collector, and gardener who was the author of several botanical works and a treatise on medicinal plants, and searlsiae is named after Fanny Searls (1851-1939), wife of Henry Gradle.
