Tetradymia canescens
Also called Gray horse-brush, Spineless horse-brush, Gray horsebrush, Common Horshbrush, Grey Horsebrush
Spineless horsebrush is a bushy, woolly-stemmed shrub of western North American deserts, sagebrush scrub and open woodland, with pale yellow flowers from May to October. It is tough and fire-tolerant, and the key to growing it is full sun and very good drainage.
Tetradymia argyraea is a species of flowering plant in the aster family known by the common names spineless horsebrush and gray horsebrush. It is native to western North America.
The range of Tetradymia argyraea is primarily east of the Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada of British Columbia to California. It extends eastward to southwest Montana, Wyoming, western Colorado and northwest New Mexico, where it grows in sagebrush scrub, woodlands, forest, scrubby open plains, and other habitat. It occupies a large range of elevations from near sea level to 3,400 m (11,000 ft) but favors the range of 1,500–2,700 metres (5,000–9,000 ft).
