Paxistima canbyi (pachsistima, if you will) has the common name "rat
stripper".  Wife has been looking, for years, to find the origin for
the name.  It is a low-growing evergreen plant with no obvious
relation to a rat or stripping.  Google is dry hole for information. 
Does anyone know how or where the common name arose?
