HEATH Tamarix Articulata (Tamaricaceae) "Cursed be the man that trusteth in man...for he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness…" (Jer.17:5‑6) Jeremiah probably had in mind the tamarisk, a stunted desert bush, or possibly the juniper, which is common desert plant.
