Greasewood / Creosote bush
Image
- Often surrounded by grass
- Inhibits growth of other plants
- Provides fair forage for livestock and big game during the winter

Signs of poisoning include depression, weakness, reluctance to move, rapid and shallow breathing, drooling, coma, and death
- Commonly develops on finely textured saline or alkaline soils, it occasionally grows on coarsely textured non-saline soils
- Well-known ground water plant
- Can be thousands of years old
- Boil in water to break through the heavy seed coat; soak them for a day and then plant one seed per 2-inch pot.

Brittlebush


Image
- In mant deserts the brittlebush and creosote bush dominate the vegetation
- The stems of the brittlebush secrete a clear resin which was used by Native Americans from the Southwest as a glue and also as a gum
- Ground up it was used by the Seri Indians of Mexico as a toothpaste
- Sprinkle the paste on sores or heat it and spread it on the body to relieve pain
- Spanish missionaries burned it as an incense
- Mule deer and desert bighorn sheep browse on it
- Most useful for rehabilitating landscapes
- Easily transplanted and grows well from seed
- For toothache the bark is removed, the branch heated in ashes
