 So planting P. c. is PC because it provides wildlife habitat? 

Subject: Re: [GWL] Paxistima canbyi

Hi, John -- A person who contacted me off-list found a reference, 
cited below, which says the name comes from rats stripping the 
branches from the plant to make a nest. As I told her, that's a 
better image than the one I had, which is the plant stripped the hide 
off of rats.
