Edible?[edit]
Article says: "it can be used in cooking ..." but there does not appear to be a reference for that. The Basin Sage Brush (Artemisia tridentata) article says: "The plant's volatile oils are metabolized in the liver into toxic compounds which can cause internal blood clotting and the formation of micro-thrombi in the liver and digestive tract." While it is possible that one is edible while the other is toxic, I would feel better if there was a reference for its edibility. Mountquercus (talk) 04:02, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
Which slopes?[edit]
"It thrives in full sun, preferring to grow on west or north-facing slopes."
Similar to the above talk subject, the phrase it "prefer[s] to grow on west or north-facing slopes" is probably not true and should be referenced if it is. In fact, CalScape says it is found on "Dry slopes and flats, often south facing"[1] while United States Forest Service gives more detail on the four somewhat separated areas where populations can be found[2]. At least in its northern range, this a south / east facing slope plant. Xoxua (talk) 02:47, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
