A genus of shrubs native to western North America, commonly known as rabbit brush, with bright yellow flowers.
From Greek 'chrysos' (gold) and 'thamnus' (shrub), literally meaning 'golden shrub.' A botanical genus name created in the 19th century.
Rabbit brush explodes into bright yellow clouds across desert landscapes and was used by Native Americans for dye, medicine, and even as a rubber source—it's basically the multi-tool of desert plants!
