Name: Diplacus aurantiacus Shrubland
Reference:
Description: This shrubland is known from southern and central interior coastal mountains of California. It occurs on abrupt, somewhat steep to steep slopes with variable aspect at low elevations between 43 and 657 m (141-2155 feet). Soils are sand to silt loams, on volcanic, sedimentary, and colluvial parent materials. Slopes are often unstable, or recently burned, or a product of recent land- or rockslides. It is characterized by a strong dominance of <i>Diplacus aurantiacus (= Mimulus aurantiacus)</i> in the shrub layer. It has a presence of <i>Leymus condensatus, Selaginella bigelovii</i>, and <i>Bromus diandrus</i> in the herbaceous layer of many stands, but none are consistently present. The emergent tree layer is usually absent but may include <i>Juglans californica, Eucalyptus</i> sp., <i>Pinus</i> sp., <i>Quercus agrifolia</i>, and <i>Platanus racemosa</i>.
