[[File:Yellow rabbitbrush.jpg|thumb|Rabbitbrush at Riverbend Ponds Natural Area, Fort Collins, Colorado]] '''Rabbitbrush''' is a common name for shrubs, principally of the western United States, in three related genera of the family Asteraceae:
* ''Chrysothamnus'' — about seven species in the United States, including Greene's rabbitbrush * ''Ericameria'' — about six species in the United States, including gray (or rubber) and Parry's rabbitbrush * ''Lorandersonia'' — about four species in the United States, including Bailey's rabbitbrush and spearleaf rabbitbrush
Taxonomy for these genera has changed recently; previously, the rabbitbrushes in ''Ericameria'' and ''Lorandersonia'' were included in ''Chrysothamnus''. In each of these genera, not all species are called "rabbitbrush"; most ''Ericameria'', for instance, are called "goldenbush", and only a minority are called "rabbitbrush".<ref>[http://efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=107019>L.E.
