Chamaebatia, also known as mountain misery, is a genus of two species of aromatic evergreen shrubs endemic to California . Its English common name derives from early settlers' experience with the plant's dense tangle and sticky, strong-smelling resin.[1][2] They are actinorhizal, non-legumes capable of nitrogen fixation through symbiosis with the actinobacterium, Frankia.[3][4]
