Baccharis pilularis consanguineum (Coyote Bush)

Baccharis pilularis consanguineum, commonly known as Coyote Bush, is a dense and compact evergreen shrub that belongs to the Asteraceae family. It typically has an upright growth habit, with branches that become more prostrate as the plant matures. The leaves are small, leathery, and gray-green in color, providing a nice contrast to the tiny white flowers that bloom in late summer and fall. This plant is drought tolerant and can be found in coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and other dry habitats throughout California.
