'''''Adenostoma''''' is a genus of shrubs containing only two species: ''[[Adenostoma fasciculatum]]'' (Commonly known as [[Chamise]]), and ''[[Adenostoma sparsifolium]]'' (Red shank). Both are native to coastal [[California]] and [[Baja California]], while ''A. fasciculatum'' is also native to California's [[Sierra Nevada (U.S.)|Sierra Nevada]] mountains.<ref name=Jepson1993>Jepson Manual, University of California, 1993 [http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_JM_treatment.pl?6677,6681,6683]</ref>
Both species in this genus feature stiff, linear leaves arranged alternately or in clusters along stems with shredding bark. Flowers form on a [[panicle]], are cream to white and, as in all members of the [[Rosaceae|rose family]], are [[hypanthium]]s.<ref name=Jepson1993 />
