Baccharis sarothroides is a large shrub seen mostly around roadsides in lower elevations in the Gila Wilderness. The smaller twigs have angled edges. The glandular dotted leaves are scalelike or linear, not at all broad like Baccharis salicifolia and Baccharis salicina. The plant appears to be all stems from a distance. The inflorescences are white as is the bright pappus.
