Came across this shrub growing along Wheeler Wash, in the Spring Mountains above Las Vegas. About head high, similiar form as mountain mahogany. Shreddy bark, small (1/2 inch or so) bright dark green leaves, somewhat thick and hairy, and beautiful small whitish-yellow flowers. Was growing from crack in limestone, probably gets more residual water than other shrubs and pinyons and junipers on the dry slopes.
