Definition
A type of shrub or bush found in arid regions, particularly in North America, with leaves or flowers having a bitter taste.
Etymology
Compound word from 'bitter' and 'brush' (meaning a bushy plant). The term likely arose from botanical descriptions noting the plant's unpalatable taste to grazing animals.
Kelly Says
Bitterbrush actually thrives in deserts and semi-arid zones where other plants fail—its bitter compounds might also protect it from the intense UV radiation and temperature swings of harsh environments.
