Discussion

Mabrya acerifolia is easily identified vegetatively and in flower or fruit by its cespitose habit on rock walls, dense covering of glandular hairs, reniform leaves with dentate margins, ochroleucous to yellow corollas with yellow plicae, and globular capsules on recurved pedicels. The species is endemic to south-central Arizona in Maricopa and Pinal counties within a 30 km radius of the type locality.
