Gossypium thurberi, also known as Arizona wild cotton, Thurber's cotton, or desert cotton, is a wild species of cotton.[1]
Their flowers are not showy, but the palm-shaped green leaves turn maroon in autumn.[2]
It is native to the Sonoran Desert area of northern Mexico and parts of the US state of Arizona.[3] It is often used in southern Arizona landscapes as a deciduous shrub to small tree up to 10 feet (3.0 m) tall. It is a larval food plant for the royal moth (Citheronia splendens sinaloensis).[4]
