Chamaebatia, also known as mountain misery, is a genus of two species of aromatic evergreen shrubs endemic to California. Its English common name derives from early settlers' experience with the plant's dense tangle and sticky, strong-smelling resin.[2][3] They are actinorhizal, non-legumes capable of nitrogen fixation through symbiosis with actinobacteria Frankia.[4][5]
Species
- Chamaebatia australis - Southern mountain misery
- Chamaebatia foliolosa - Sierra mountain misery, bearclover, kit-kit-dizze[2]
