A genus of small shrubs native to South America and Mexico, including the plant known as creosote bush.
Named in honor of Miguel de Covarrubias, a Spanish botanist, using the Latinized form of his name with the scientific -ea suffix.
Covillea tridentata is so drought-resistant it can survive 3 years without rain, and its roots create a chemical barrier preventing other plants from growing nearby—it's nature's territory marker!
