Garrya veatchii is a species of flowering shrub known by the common names canyon silktassel and Veatch silktassel. It is native to the chaparral hills of southern California and Baja California. This is a small treelike or bushy shrub reaching maximum heights near two meters. It has oval-shaped leaves 3 to 9 centimeters long and about half as wide with margins flat, wavy, or slightly rolled, and undersides covered thinly to thickly in woolly hairs. It produces long, hanging inflorescences of light-colored flowers, those on female plants giving way to hanging clusters of fruits. The fruit is a spherical to egg-shaped berry covered in a soft coat of hairs.
