Ephedra nevadensis (Mormon Tea)
Ephedra nevadensis, also known as Mormon Tea or Nevada ephedra, is a shrub native to the arid regions of North America. It belongs to the Ephedraceae family and is a dioecious species, meaning it has separate male and female plants. This bushy shrub produces green, needle-like leaves that resemble those of the pine tree. Mormon Tea is known for its historical and cultural significance, being used by Native American tribes and early settlers for medicinal purposes and as a caffeine-free alternative to tea.
