}}Erythrostemon mexicanus is a species of flowering plant in the pea family, Fabaceae. Common names include Mexican holdback,[2] Mexican caesalpinia, and tabachín del monte.[3] It is native to the extreme lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas[4] in the United States and south to central Mexico.[5] Its range in Mexico includes the northeast and further south along the Gulf coast as well as the Pacific coast in Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima, and a small portion of Sinaloa.[6]

Description

Mexican holdback is a small evergreen tree or large shrub, reaching a height of {{convert|3|-|4.6|m|ft|abbr=on}} and a spread of {{convert|1.8|-|3|m|ft|abbr=on}}. Leaves are bipinnately-compound and dark green.[7] Each leaf has five to nine pinnae {{convert|4|-|9|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length.[8] Pinnae are composed of four to five leaflets[7] that are {{convert|1|-|2.5|cm|in|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|0.7|-|1.3|cm|in|abbr=on}} wide.[8] Yellow, slightly fragrant flowers are produced on {{convert|7.6|-|15.2|cm|in|adj=on|abbr=on}} terminal spikes[7] of 10 to 30.[3] Blooming takes place from February to July, often continuing to October. The fruit is a dehiscent tan or yellow seedpod {{convert|5.1|-|7.6|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length.[7]

Uses

Mexican holdback is cultivated as an ornamental because of its showy flowers, lush,[3] fine-textured foliage, and drought tolerance.[9]

Ecology

Erythrostemon mexicanus is the host plant for the caterpillars of the curve-winged metalmark (Emesis emesia).[10]
