:''For other species of rabbitbrush, see Chrysothamnus and Lorandersonia'' ''Ericameria'' is a genus of North American shrubs in the daisy family.〔(Nuttall, Thomas. 1840. Transactions of the American Philosophical Society, new series 7: 318–320 ) in English〕〔(Tropicos, ''Ericameria'' Nutt. )〕〔(Flora of North America Goldenbush ''Ericameria'' Nuttall )〕 ''Ericameria'' is known by the common names goldenbush, rabbitbrush, turpentine bush, and rabbitbush. Most are shrubs but one species ''(E. parishii)'' can reach tree stature. They are distributed in western Canada (Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia) western United States (from the western Great Plains to the Pacific) and northern Mexico. Bright yellow flower heads adorn the plants in late summer. All the species have disc florets, while some have ray florets but others do not. ''Ericameria nauseosa'', (synonym ''Chrysothamnus nauseosus''), is known for its production of latex.〔 ISBN 0-89672-614-2〕〔 == Uses == This genus has a number of admirable landscape plants for heavily alkaline soils, but most species need extensive rejuvenation pruning every three years, making not ideal for common yards. Overwatering will kill the plants. ''Ericameria'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including ''Schinia argentifascia'', ''Schinia tertia'', ''Schinia unimacula'' and ''Schinia walsinghami''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ericameria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
