Summary

Description Adenostoma fasciculatum—chamise. I once listened as a respected California native plant person told me and others in his wildflower hiking group that chamise was the species with the greatest number of individual plants in the state. Let's forget the hyperbole—several other species have greater populations—there's no denying that chamise is the dominant species in much of California's chaparral. Firefighters hate the plant they call "greasewood" because it burns easily. Since it is a stump sprouter it reclaims the burnt-over area in a few years. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
