The sagebrush is the Nevada state flower which makes sense since sagebrush grows in arid climates, and Nevada has quite a bit of desert. The distinct odor of sagebrush, which is close to the smell of sage, is thought to deter animals from grazing on the plant.
Nevada gets its name from the Sierra Nevada mountain range, which it shares with California. Nevada is a Spanish word, meaning snow-covered. The state was given this name because of its high mountain ranges where there is sometimes snow all year-round. Because of the state's abundant growth of wild sage, the state is known as the Sagebrush State. Nevada is also called the Battle Born State because it became a state in 1864, during the Civil War. The abbreviation for Nevada is NV. Nevada is a Rocky Mountain state bordered by Oregon and Idaho to the north, Utah to the east, and California to the west and south.
