Big sagebrush- Artemesia tridentata

coarse, many-branched, pale-grey shrub with discoid erect yellow flowers and silvery-grey foliage, which is generally 0.5–3 m tall. strong pungent fragrance (especially when wet) due to the presence of camphor, terpenoids and other volatile oils. The taste is bitter and, together with the odor, serves to discourage browsing by many herbivores.

This shrub has leaves that have 3 teeth- distinguishable from its sister plant artemesia tripartida because the leaf lobes form teeth NOT 3 distinct lobes like partita. leaves are densely hairy
