Borrichia arborescens is a species of flowering plant in the composite family known by the common name tree seaside tansy. It is native to the Caribbean, Bermuda, and the Florida Keys where it is relatively common. It is found on rocky and sandy coasts, in both beaches and marshes.[1]
It produces yellow flower heads in late spring and summer. Despite its common name, it is only a shrub reaching heights of five feet.[2]
Hybrids with Borrichia frutescens are known where the two species come into contact.
