The small stubby three-toothed leaves of this rather unattractive shrub are much beloved of mule deer, elk, and antelope; rodents and ants treasure the seeds, which humans find extremely bitter. The bark is shaggy. Some sources claim First Peoples have used both seeds and bark to make a medicinal tea, but I have yet to learn what ailments it might remedy.
