Common hop bush
Common hop bush boasts a sturdy, compact structure, typically found in dry, rocky environments that shape its resilience. Recognizable for its triangular, leathery leaves and robust seed capsules, it has adapted to thrive under the intense sun, with a canopy that often glistens with secreted resins. This unique adaptation both deters herbivory and reduces water loss, allowing common hop bush to flourish in its harsh native habitat.
