Chamaebatia, also known as mountain misery, is a genus of two species of aromatic evergreen shrubs endemic to California. Its English common name derives from early settlers' experience with the plant's dense tangle and sticky, strong-smelling resin. [1] [2] They are actinorhizal, non- legumes capable of nitrogen fixation through symbiosis with the actinobacterium, Frankia. [3] [4]
