Larrea tridentata, called creosote bush and greasewood as a plant,[2]chaparral as a medicinal herb,[3] and gobernadora (Spanish for "governess") in Mexico, due to its ability to secure more water by inhibiting the growth of nearby plants.[citation needed] In Sonora, it is more commonly called hediondilla;[4] Spanish hediondo = "smelly".
It is a flowering plant in the family Zygophyllaceae. The specific name tridentata refers to its three-toothed leaves.[5]
