Ericameria bloomeri is a species of flowering shrub in the daisy family known by the common names Bloomer's rabbitbush and Bloomer's goldenbush. This plant is native to the mountains of western North America from British Columbia to California, where it grows in coniferous forests. This is a small shrub reaching a maximum height of about half a meter and covered in a foliage of threadlike to slightly oval leaves a few centimeters long. It may be glandular and resinous and slightly woolly or hairless. Atop each of the many erect branches is an inflorescence of golden yellow flowers. Each centimeter wide flower has long disc florets and some ray florets, and the dense inflorescence has resin glands and some woolly fibers.
