    1. Reviewed by Tom Chester    Mar 12, 2009

    Action: changed name from "Astragalus crotalariae" to "Astragalus lentiginosus var. variabilis "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "This plant cannot be A. crotalariae, which has green leaves, not gray leaves, a more congested inflorescence of bigger, redder-purple flowers, and is not found near Desert Center. A. lentiginosus var. variabilis is just my best guess about the determination of these plants."
