Location Narrative	BLM and BOR Parcels, Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties, New Melones Reservoir: This is a small shrub stand on a very rocky, steep slope above the creek, dominated by Aesculus californica and Heteromeles arbutifolia. This type repeats on many exposures in this canyon and seems to be associated with the steep, rocky slopes. There is a high diversity of native forbs. The Umbellularia californica is all on the SW side of the stand, closer to the adjacent drainage.
