Chrysothamnus
nauseosus ~ Rabbit Brush (syn Ericameria nauseosa) |
| Chrysothamnus nauseosus
grow through much of California's hot interior up to an elevation above
10,000 feet and also grows through much of the Plains, Rockies and points
West. Rabbit Brush grows in disturbed areas, requiring little
rainfall and scanty soils. The Rabbit Bush name, Chrysothamnus
nauseosus has been changed to Ericameria nauseosa, though as usual the
change is slow to trickle through and the former name still seems to be
more commonly used. Chrysothamnus nauseosus grows 2-4 feet
tall. The silver foliage is topped by golden yellow flowers when
moisture is available Summer into Fall. There are a wealth of
butterflies that regularly visit Rabbit Brush when it is blooming.
Chrysothamnus nauseosus is quite fragrant, some folks are allergic to the
pollen in the air.
