Coleogyne ramosissima or blackbrush, is a low lying, dark grayish-green, aromatic,[2] spiny, perennial, soft wooded[2] shrub, native to the deserts of the southwestern United States.[3][4] It is called blackbrush because the gray branches darken when wet by rains.[3][4] It is in the rose family (Rosaceae),[3][4] and is the only species in the monotypic genus Coleogyne.
