RABBITBRUSH

Herbaceous perennials and shrubs native to western North America.  Anderson (1984) presented an overview of the genus.  Some 14 species are included and occur from southwestern Canada to northern Mexico. Heads lack ray florets. The genus is closely related to and possibly part of the genus Ericameria.  Chrysothamnus nauseous (Pallas) Britt., Rubber Rabbitbrush is the most widely distributed and includes 22 subspecies.
