TARBUSH
comming soon
Tarbush (Flourensia cernua; Composite family) is
a small shrub usually 1-1.5 metres tall, characteristic of the Chihuahuan
Desert. This shrub can be co-dominant with creosote bush over large areas
of flat, calcareous sites. The photograph was taken in March, before the
summer rains which promote the production of new leaves. The old leaves
die after frosts but remain on the plant until the next growing season
