Location Narrative	Dispersed stand of Gutierrizia californica on steep hillslope. Herbaceous cover is dominated by Bromus rubens. Small shrubs and seedlings of Gutierrizia californica are intermixed with more mature shrubs. Bedrock is jutting out of the ground and there are numerous ungulate trails that follow the contours of the slope, however no obvious signs of recent grazing.
