Ericameria pinifolia is a species of flowering shrubs in the family Asteraceae known by the common name pinebush.

[5][6] Ericameria pinifolia is found in scrub and chaparral from the inland Peninsular and western Transverse Ranges foothills to the Colorado Desert.

It is covered in clustered needle-like leaves each 1-4 centimeters (0.4-1.6 inches) long which at first glance look like very young pine needles.

The leaves are fleshier than true needles and the plant is not closely related to the pines.

[7] Atop each of the many erect branches is an inflorescence of small whitish flower heads.
