A desert shrub found in southwestern North America with slender, arrow-like leaves and small white flowers.
From 'arrow' + 'weed,' named for the shape of its narrow, straight leaves that resemble arrows pointing upward.
Arrowweed is perfectly adapted to deserts—its thin leaves reduce water loss while looking like tiny arrows, and native peoples used it for tool handles because the wood grows so straight!
