Ericameria arborescens is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae known by the common name goldenfleece.^[2] It is widespread across much of California and found also in southwestern Oregon.^[2]^[3]

Ericameria arborescens grows in chaparral communities and open woodlands. This is a resinous, glandular shrub or small occasionally exceeding 5 meters (over 17 feet) in height. It has many erect branches covered in very thin, needle-like to lance-shaped leaves 3-6 centimeters (1.2-2.4 inches) long. Atop each stem is an inflorescence of many bright golden flowers, each a rounded bunch of disc florets about 5 mm (0.2 inches) wide. This plant is adapted to ecosystems prone to wildfire.^[4]
