Ericameria Nauseosa

Ericameria nauseosa, commonly known as bitterbrush, is a hardy shrub native to the arid and semi-arid regions of the western United States. It thrives in harsh environments, often found on dry slopes and rocky soils where few other plants can survive. The plant is characterized by its yellow flowers and aromatic, bitter-scented leaves that give it its common name. Bitterbrush plays a vital role in supporting local wildlife, providing food and shelter for a variety of animals. Despite its tough nature, it is also valued for its ecological importance and resilience in challenging climates.
