Eriodictyon tomentosum

Eriodictyon tomentosum is a species of flowering plant in the borage family known by the common name woolly yerba santa.

Its twigs and foliage are covered in a dense coat of white woolly hairs, giving the bush a silvery look.

The leaves are oval and up to ten centimeters long and five wide, and they may have small teeth along the edges.

The bush flowers in dense fuzzy bunches of very light lavender glandular blossoms, each a few millimeters long.

This shrub can be found only in the California Coast Ranges, where it occurs in grassland and chaparral plant communities.
