Coursetia glandulosa, the rosary babybonnets, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae.[3] It is native to desert and dry scrubland areas of the US state of Arizona, Mexico, and Honduras.[2] A deciduous shrub reaching 20 ft (6 m), it is typically found in rocky habitats such as canyons, at elevations below 1,200 m (4,000 ft).[3] Heavy orange encrustations on its branches are a common occurrence, and are the result of a lac insect infestation.[3][4]
