A techniques has been developed that provides an on-the-spot field test to aid in the identification of some sagebrush taxa. Seeds, dried or green crushed leaf material, or stem cambium of various sagebrush taxa will produce distinctive shades of blue when wet and placed under longwave ultraviolet light.
