	Bottlebrush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bottlebrush (Callistemon) is a genus with 34 species of shrubs in the family Myrtaceae.
		They are commonly referred to as bottlebrushes because of their cylindrical, brush like flowers resembling a traditional bottle brush.
		They are found in the more temperate regions of Australia, mostly along the east coast and south-west, and typically favour moist conditions so when planted in gardens thrive on regular watering.

	ISU Extension News Release
		Bottlebrush buckeye, Aesculus parviflora, belongs to the Hippocastanaceae family and is native to the southeastern United States.
		Like all the Aesculus species, bottlebrush buckeye has large, palmately compound leaves; that is, the leaflets are attached to the leaf stalk similarly to the way that our out-stretched fingers are related to the palm of our hand.
		Bottlebrush buckeye naturally maintains a uniform, rounded form, however, it can be rejuvenated with heavy pruning in the spring.

	Bottlebrush - genus Callistemon
		Bottlebrushes are members of the genus Callistemon and belong to the family Myrtaceae.
		The popularity of bottlebrushes as garden plants commenced soon after European settlement and Crimson Bottlebrush (Callistemon citrinus) was introduced to Britain by Joseph Banks in 1789.
		Bottlebrushes hybridise readily so, if you wish to be sure that you are preserving the features of the parent plant do not grow plants from seed, use cuttings instead.

	ARS \| Publication request: Livestock Forage Conditioning: Bluebunch Wheatgrass, Idaho Fescue, and Bottlebrush ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Interpretive Summary: Bluebunch wheatgrass, Idaho fescue, and bottlebrush squirreltail are 3 of the most prominent grasses on rangelands in the intermountain west.
		This suggested that bluebunch wheatgrass might be the most difficult of the 3 to successfully condition with livestock grazing and bottlebrush squirreltail the easiest.
		Our objectives were: 1)to evaluate fall and winter nutritional indices of bluebunch wheatgrass, Idaho fescue, and bottlebrush squirreltail that were ungrazed, lightly grazed, or heavily grazed by cattle during the spring boot-stage of growth; and 2)to quantify the opportunity costs of applying these treatments on fall standing crops.
