'''''Jamesia''''' is a [[genus]] of [[shrub]]s in the [[Hydrangeaceae]], most commonly known as '''Jamesia''', '''Cliffbush''' or '''Waxflower'''. It is native to interior western [[North America]], in the [[United States|U.S.]] states of [[Arizona]], [[California]], [[Colorado]], [[Nevada]], [[New Mexico]], [[Utah]], and [[Wyoming]], growing in [[mountain]]s at 1600-3000 m altitude.
 +
 +
There is just one [[species]], ''J. americana'', though some [[botanist]]s treat it as two separate species, the second being ''J. tetrapetala'' (Fourpetal Cliffbush; with the narrow sense ''J. americana'' then known as Fivepetal Cliffbush).
 +
 +
It is a shrub growing to 1-2 m tall and to 3 m or more broad, with opposite simple [[leaf|leaves]] 3-7 cm long and 2-5 cm broad, with a serrated margin and a crinkled surface. The [[flower]]s are produced in  erect terminal [[panicle]]s, each flower white, 15-20 mm diameter, with five (rarely four) petals. The [[fruit]] is a dry [[capsule (fruit)|capsule]] with numerous small [[seed]]s.
