I decided to see if I could find anything about beebrush on the web and
found the following two web pages on the Chihuahuan Desert Gardens web site:
Aloysia gratissima (Whitebrush or bee brush)
http://nasa.utep.edu/chih/gardens/plants/aloygrat.htm
There's a nice picture here--I'm pretty sure this is the plant that was on
the drought survivors list!
Aloysia wrightii (Oreganillo, Wright's bee brush)
http://nasa.utep.edu/chih/gardens/plants/aloygrat.htm
Both of these plants are wonderfully aromatic and native to the deserts of
the Southwestern US. Both are available in nurseries in Tucson that
specialize in desert plants, but I don't know how widely available they are
elsewhere...
Hope this will be useful information for listmembers!
