1320ft.
Ground littered with old remains of Arctostaphylos trunks and branches. Scattered in the opening were ca. 200 young seedlings 1-3 years old, suggesting that the attempted removal of feral goats is having a positive effect. Co-occuring with arborescent Adenostoma fasiculatum, also with their lower branches browzed off.
Four large, twisted, senescent specimens 20-30 dm tall with lower branches browzed off; fruiting. Nutlets ca. 6, separable.
