 ASTER TRIBE ASTEREAE 

 Little Rabbit Brush Gutierrezia 

 Low shrubs with wiry stems, narrow often spirally curved leaves and clusters 

 of numerous yellow flowers terminating the branchlets. Achenes angled or ribbed 

 and pubescent. Pappus of four to fifteen oblong erose scales. Receptacle flat. 



Common shrubs of desert and dry foothill regions. Not liked by stock and 

 hence remain in abundance over sheeped areas. Stems readily withstand trampling, 

 springing back again into place. Grow on poorer and more gravelly soil than the 

 true sagebrush and spread more readily over burnt areas. Conspicuous in the fall.

Desert.
