Brickellia rusbyi (stinking brickellbush)[2] is a North American species of flowering plants in the daisy family. It is native to northern Mexico (Chihuahua, Sonora) and the southwestern United States (New Mexico, Arizona).[3][4]

Brickellia rusbyi is a branching shrub up to 120 cm (36 inches) tall, growing from a woody base. It produces many small flower heads with yellow disc florets but no ray florets.[5]

The species is named for American botanist Henry Hurd Rusby (1855-1940).[6]
