Brickellia amplexicaulis (earleaf brickellbush)[2] is a North American species of flowering plants in the daisy family. It is native to northwestern and north-central Mexico (Sonora, Sinaloa, Chihuahua) and also to the southwestern United States (Arizona and southwestern New Mexico (Hidalgo County)).[3][4]
