Distribution:— Endemic to the Peninsula of Baja California, distributed in the lower and higher elevation portions of the Sierras Juárez and San Pedro Mártir. Also, in Arizona and California (USA) (Fig. 21). Habitat:— Sandy, gravel, granite soils; stony slopes; along streams; riparian areas; alluvial fans bordered by slopes with volcanic soil; pine - juniper forests; pine forest; high oak forests; chaparral; areas with chaparral- Quercus; also associated with mezquite, acacia, prickly-pear, columnar cacti,cirio; 60–1850 m. Comments:— Two sierras, Juárez and San Pedro Mártir together harbor 18 species of Astragalus. By excluding those with red ochroleucous or completely white flowers, and 8 mm long or shorter, sessile and not inflated bladderlike pods, there are a group of four closely related species, A. gruinus, A. hornii var. minutiflorus, A. proriferus and A. palmeri Of these, A. hornii is recognized by its oblong or compact, globose racemes, most commonly inhabiting cemented saline terraces, adjacent to coastal dunes. Astragalus gruinus, A. proriferus, and A. palmeri converge only in San Pedro Mártir, occurring together in oak-pine and pine forest at 1600–3000 m. Astragalus grunius has pods (9–28 mm long) strongly attached to the receptacle, when maturing and falling, they do together with the pedicels, while A. proriferus and A. palmeri have persistent pedicels and the pods are easily and soon caducous, this later species also occur at lower altitudes, 1650 m or below, associated with scrubs bordering the mountain range.
