Atriplex canescens, also known as chamiso, chamiza, or four-wing saltbush, is an evergreen shrub found in the western and midwestern United States. It is highly variable in form and can reach heights of 1 to 10 feet, with thin leaves that are 0.5 to 2 inches long. The most distinctive feature of this species is its fruits, which have four wings and bloom from April to October. Fourwing saltbush is commonly found in early succession areas and is used by the Zuni people for medicinal purposes and by the Hopi Indians for nixtamalization of maize. It is also a marker for archaeologists to locate ancient Pueblo ruins.
