SWEET BUSH
Bebbia juncea

Sweet Bush is a southwestern United States native species of shrub. This shrub is an excellent host plant, and is ecologically important for butterflies and bees. It is also a common habitat choice for the Chuckwalla to seek refuge under. Although its yellow/orange flowers seem rather inconspicuous, the tubular flowers are quite striking especially under a 10 power lens.
