Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Chrysothamnus, common names Rabbitbrush and Chamisa, is a member of the Asteraceae family. It is a deciduous shrub, similar to sagebrush with a native range in the arid western United States and Mexico. It is known for its bright white or yellow flowers in late summer. Chrysothamnus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora linosyridella, Coleophora viscidiflorella (which have both been recorded on C. viscidiflorus) and Schinia walsinghami.
