Description: Stands of this xeric chaparral vegetation type of central and southern California occur on slopes from 100-1350 m of elevation. At the upper end of the elevational range, stands are restricted to south-facing slopes. Soils vary in depth, but are usually coarse-textured. Precipitation patterns are very Mediterranean, with the bulk of the precipitation falling between November and May. Yearly rainfall totals vary between 25 and 80 cm. This shrubland is dominated by ~Ceanothus crassifolius$. Other shrubs present may include ~Arctostaphylos glauca, Cercocarpus montanus var. glaber, Salvia mellifera, Eriogonum fasciculatum, Adenostoma fasciculatum, Ceanothus leucodermis, Rhamnus ilicifolia (= Rhamnus crocea ssp. ilicifolia), Quercus dumosa$, and ~Heteromeles arbutifolia$. Emergent trees may be present. The herbaceous layer is sparse.
