What are some adaptations of the brittle bush?

Brittle bush (Encelia farinosa) has several adaptations that enable it to thrive in arid environments. Its gray-green, hairy leaves reflect sunlight and reduce water loss through evaporation. The plant also has a deep root system that allows it to access moisture from deeper soil layers. Additionally, its ability to quickly germinate and grow after rainfall helps it take advantage of limited water resources.
