Undulate Fleabane

Pulicaria incisa

Description:

One of my favorite fragrant plants of the desert! Wish we had scratch-n-sniff technology. ;-)

Habitat:

spotted in a coastal desert wadi

Notes:

aka Wild Mountain Tea; Used medicinally by local Bedouin to cure head colds as well as joint, limb, and back aches. Also mixed in an infusion with tea just for taste. I often drink a hot infusion of this herb without the tea. This plant is also a favorite of the local goats!
