Fallugia paradoxa

• Has light gray or whitish peeling bark on its many thin branches
• Leaf upper surface is green and hairy and the underside is duller in color and scaly
• Flower is roselike when new, with rounded white petals
• Valuable for erosion control
• A good choice for arid and semi-arid gardens
