A small, relict population occurs in the southern end of the Central Valley of California [12].

Johnson [15] describes a white burrobrush community type in the desert washes of the Mojave Desert characterized by white burrobrush, desert saltbush (Atriplex polycarpa), desert rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus paniculatus), and catclaw acacia (Acacia greggii). Hanley and Brady [14] describe a paloverde (Cercidium spp.)-white burrobrush community type in Sonoran Desert washes. In addition to the above mentioned species, white burrobrush is commonly associated with smoke tree (Dalea spinosa), white bursage (Ambrosia dumosa), brittle bush (Encelia farinosa), jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis), sweetbush (Bebbia juncea), desert agave (Agave deserti), ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens), range ratany (Kramerica parvifolia), teddybear cholla (Opuntia bigelovii), desert willow (Chilopsis linearis), and rubber rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus) [42,44,45]. A publication listing white burrobrush as a codominant species in desert wash communities is listed below: Vegetation and plant communities of southern California deserts-- a functional view [15].
