Location Narrative	Southern Portion of Denny Ranch in Tehama County: The stand consists of mature Ceanothus cuneatus with emergent Quercus douglasii. All species seem to be stunted, maybe on account of the shallow, rocky substrate. The understory is dominated by Taeniatherum caput-medusae and Cynosurus echinatus.
