Also known as Whitebrush.

Beebrush is a drought-tolerant shrub with narrow leaves and white, fragrant flowers. It is a pollinator magnet and a honey plant. Many granivorous birds, such as goldfinches, eat the seeds.  

Beebrush can grow as a single shrub or in large, dense thickets. It is a good background or screen plant for poor soils. It can be cut back to promote flowering and bushier growth.
