Garrya veatchii is a species of flowering shrub known by the common names canyon silktassel and Veatch silktassel.
It is native to the chaparral hills of Southern California and Baja California.
Description
Garrya veatchii is a small treelike or bushy shrub reaching maximum heights near 2 metres (6.6 ft). It has oval-shaped leaves 3 to 9 centimeters long and about half as wide with margins flat, wavy, or slightly rolled, and undersides covered thinly to thickly in woolly hairs.
It produces long, hanging inflorescences of light-colored flowers, those on female plants giving way to hanging clusters of fruits.
The fruit is a spherical to egg-shaped berry covered in a soft coat of hairs.
