Apacheria chiricahuensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Crossosomataceae. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Apacheria.[2] It is known by the common names Chiricahua rock flower, cliff brittlebush, and Apache bush.[3] The genus is named in honor of the Apache people who inhabit the region; the specific epithet refers to the Chiricahua Mountains in Cochise County, Arizona.[4][5]
This plant is a shrub up to half a meter tall and one meter wide. The hard, spine-like twigs are lined with opposite clusters of leaves each a few millimeters long. The solitary flowers have four white to cream-colored, or occasionally pink, petals 5 to 6 millimeters long. The fruit is a follicle with 1 or 2 brown seeds.[3]
Apacheria is similar to Crossosoma species, which can be differentiated by their alternate leaves and five-parted flowers.[3]
This plant grows in many types of rocky desert habitat, such as cliffs, riparian woodlands, and chaparral.[3]
