Adenostoma is a genus of shrubs in the rose family (Rosaceae) containing only two species, chamise (Adenostoma fasciculatum) and redshanks (Adenostoma sparsifolium). Both are native to the Californias.
== Description == === Characteristics === The plants grow in a habit of shrubs to small trees, and the stem is more or less resinous. Both species in this genus feature stiff, linear leaves arranged alternately or in clusters along stems with shredding bark. Flowers form on a panicle, are cream to white and, as in all members of the rose family, have hypanthia. The fruit is an achene. Chromosome number is 2n = 18.
