Dalea reverchonii is a species of flowering plant in the legume family known by the common name Comanche Peak prairie-clover. It is endemic to Texas in the United States, where it is known from Bosque, Erath, Hood, Johnson, Parker, Somervell, Tarrant, and Wise counties.[2][1][3][4] This species was first collected by Julien Reverchon at the top of Comanche Peak. As of 2015 the species still grows there.[2]
This perennial herb forms a mat-like rosette with smooth leaves each divided into several leaflets. It blooms in spikes of pink or purplish flowers in May and June.[2]

The substrate is clay over limestone.
