Its native range stretches across western North America, from the western edge of the Great Plains to Washington and south into northwestern Mexico. Recorded habitats include grassland, shrubs, mesquite, and creosote, at elevations from approximately 1,500 to 8,200 feet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWithin the southwestern portion of that range, creosote scrub is a particularly distinctive landscape. These drought-adapted shrubs have resin-coated leaves that limit moisture loss and produce a recognizable fragrance after rain. Some creosote colonies persist for thousands of years.
