Brickellia greenei is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name Greene's brickellbush. It is native to the mountain ranges of Oregon and northern California, including the northern Sierra Nevada.
This is a perennial herb growing 20 to 50 centimeters tall with several glandular, sticky stems covered in leaves. The oval, toothed leaves are up to 3 centimeters long and sticky with resin glands.
The inflorescences hold widely-spaced flower heads, each about 2 centimeters long and lined with narrow, pointed phyllaries. Each flower head holds a nearly spherical array of about 60 thready disc florets. The fruit is a hairy cylindrical achene about 7 millimeters long with a pappus of bristles.
