CHRYSOTHAMNUS nauseosus ssp. albicaulis. Rabbit-brush. California and the West. Those who have visited the eastern Sierra, or the valleys to the east, in fall are well familiar with the golden spectacle of rabbit-brushes in bloom. This is the most ornamental of the group. It is a small shrub, usually under 3’ high, covered with dense white hairs. The leaves are narrow, sometimes thread-like. In late summer and fall small silky, golden-yellow “daisies” are clustered at the branch tips, nearly hiding the plants. These are followed by great quantities of fluffy seeds, which are ornamental in their own right. This is a fine plant for neglected banks, though not the better-tended parts of the garden. It needs full exposure, well drained, preferably poor soil, and only occasional watering once it is established. Hardy to below 0^oF.
