English term or phrase: creosote bush
While bristlecone pines are the longest-living tree, scientists debate what is truly the oldest living thing. The creosote bush that grows in the Mojave Desert may be older. The creosote achieves its age by "cloning" new bushes from its root system.

To je navodno najstarija biljka na svijetu, ali trenutno mi zadaje najviše problema :-) Svejedno je vrijedna divljenja!

Kako bi glasio hrvatski naziv za tu biljku?

Unaprijed hvala!

Larrea tridenta / chaparral


Explanation:
Ako ga baš želite prevesti sa engleskog, onda se slažem s prijedlogom kolege LogosART, inače predlažem uporabu latinskog naziva Larrea tridenta, a može se iskoristiti i španjolski naziv chaparral (čaparal).

Na donjoj poveznici autor je upotrijebio opisnu frazu „grmolika biljka iz roda Larrea”.

Mađari su ga bukvalno preveli „kreozotcserje”...

Inače, kreozot ili kreozotno ulje je frakcija tera između 240° i 270° C; služi za impregniranje pragova i kao dezinfektant uopšte (kem.).
