Chrysothamnus molestus
Also called Tusayan Rabbitbrush
Chrysothamnus molestus is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common names Arizona rabbitbrush, Tusayan rabbitbrush, disturbed rabbitbrush, and stickyfruit low rabbitbrush. It is endemic to the State of Arizona in the southwestern United States, where it is known from Coconino, Apache, and Navajo Counties.
This plant is a low shrub or subshrub up to about 20 centimeters high, growing from a woody, branching caudex. The plants are often cropped low by grazing animals. The bark on the woody part is dark gray and fibrous, and the stems are green and glandular. The leaves are up to 2 centimeters long and under 2 millimeters wide. The blades are hairy and glandular. The inflorescence is an array of nearly cylindrical flower heads each containing five yellow disc florets but no ray florets. Many flowers are produced after times of stress.
