A genus of plants in the lizard-tail family, found in southwestern North America and Mexico, with distinctive spiky white flower clusters.
From Greek anemos (wind) plus opsis (appearance or view), literally 'wind-like appearance,' referring to how the flower clusters resemble wind-blown structures.
Anemopsis is sometimes called 'yerba mansa' and has been used by Native American and Mexican herbalists for centuries—it grows in salty, alkaline wetlands where almost nothing else can survive, making it a real champion of extreme environments!
