Description:
Ephedra viridis, commonly known as green ephedra, is a shrub native to the Western United States, thriving in diverse habitats such as scrub, woodland, and desert. It features dense clusters of erect green twigs that may yellow with age and vestigial leaves at the nodes. Male plants produce pollen cones, while female plants bear seed cones. Historically, it has been used medicinally and as a dye by the Navajo. This coniferous shrub is a source of ephedrine and forms a dense mound of green foliage.
