Location Narrative	tall scrub vegetation on n and e-facing slopes dominated by malosma. The other co-dominant Coastal Sage Scrub spp are patchily distributed throughout stand and form a shrub understory to the malosma. A similar but less dense stand occurs to the northeast on a midslope of similar steepness that is s-facing. Point was taken on edge of stand, unable to penetrate stand for full species list.
