Ericameria paniculata (formerly Chrysothamnus paniculatus)[4] is a species of flowering plant in the sunflower family Asteraceae, native to the southwestern United States.

The spreading or erect stems are glandular and resinous and are often banded or splotched with black from a smut fungus Puccinia splendens.

[8] The glandular leaves are filiform (thread-shaped or narrowly oblanceolate) up to 3.5 centimeters (1.4 inches) in length.

[7] Ericameria paniculata is native to the deserts of Arizona, Nevada, southern California, southwestern Utah.

Its companions may include Larrea tridentata (creosote), Yucca brevifolia (Joshua tree), Baccharis, Hymenoclea salsola (white burrobush), Atriplex polycarpa (desert saltbush), and Acacia greggii (catclaw acacia).
