Also see . . .  Ericameria nauseosa (formerly Chrysothamnus nauseosus) (Wikipedia). The Zuni people use the blossoms to make a yellow dye. They use the stems to make baskets. Several studies have been conducted on the possible use of rubber rabbitbrush as a source of rubber including ones during World Wars I and II, and 1987. One possible commercial use of rubber rabbitbrush would be as a source for hypoallergenic rubber for use in products designed for people with latex allergies.
