Vauquelinia californica |
Vauquelinia, commonly known as the rosewoods, is a genus of the rose family Rosaceae. It consists of two species of shrubs found in the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.
V. californica, also known as the Arizona rosewood, is of some interest as an ornamental.
The genus was named for French chemist Louis Nicolas Vauquelin (1763-1829).
