A plant or shrub used as food for cattle or that grows in cattle-grazing regions.
Compound word from 'cattle' (herd animals) and 'bush' (shrub), created directly from its function or habitat. Common in colonial American and Australian English.
Cattlebush could be several different plants depending on region—the name describes purpose, not taxonomy, which is why common names can be confusing!
