A hardy desert shrub with dark-colored branches, found in the southwestern United States.
Compound of 'black' and 'brush' (Old English 'brysce'). Named for its dark-colored branches and brush-like appearance.
Blackbrush is so efficient at surviving the Mojave Desert that it creates its own ecosystem—it shades the soil, lowers temperatures, and allows other plants to grow underneath in its microclimate.
