tamarisk
A tamarisk is a small shrub or tree of the genus Tamarix, usually found in dry areas, particularly near salt water habitats. It is characterized by slender branches and small, scale-like leaves. This plant is often used for windbreaks and erosion control. Despite its usefulness, it can also be considered invasive in certain regions due to its high tolerance of various environmental conditions and its tendency to overrun native plants.
Webster Dictionary
Tamarisknoun
any shrub or tree of the genus Tamarix, the species of which are European and Asiatic. They have minute scalelike leaves, and small flowers in spikes. An Arabian species (T. mannifera) is the source of one kind of manna
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Tamarisk
tam′ar-isk, n. a genus of Mediterranean evergreen shrubs with small white or pink flowers. [L. tamariscus.]
