Species of plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grindelia chiloensis, the shrubby gumweed, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to central and southern Chile, and Argentina.[1][2] A perennial shrub adapted to arid areas, its dried leaves can contain up to 25% resin, so efforts are being made to bring into cultivation for resin and biomass production.[3]
