Discussion | Subspecies 10 (8 in the flora). Arctostaphylos glandulosa occurs in the California Floristic Province from southern Oregon to northern Baja California within the Coast, Transverse, and Peninsular ranges. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Arctostaphylos malloryi occurs in disjunct populations on volcanic soils in Colusa, Shasta, and Sonoma counties in the North Coast Ranges. It possibly originated as a hybrid between A. canescens and A. viscida, and merits further study. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
