sage brush
Aromatic western plant
Sagebrush is a silvery-green shrub with aromatic leaves, native to the arid regions of western North America.
It dominates the high desert landscape from the Great Basin to the Rocky Mountain foothills, giving the terrain its distinctive smell and muted color.
The plant is closely associated with the American West: miles of sagebrush stretched to the horizon.
Also spelled as two words: sage brush.
