Description: This shrubland association is currently only known from Point Reyes National Seashore in California, and the following description is based on occurrences there. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. Stands of this association are found on moderate slopes with a northern to eastern exposure. This vegetation grows in the middle third of the slope on moderately coarse to fine sandy loams. Stands are typically in concave areas surrounded by stands of <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i>. Stands are small, usually under 3 ha. This vegetation is heavily dominated by <i>Corylus cornuta</i> forming a closed shrub canopy between 2-5 m in height, with individual emergent tall shrubs. <i>Marah fabaceus</i> and <i>Rubus ursinus</i> are common shrub associates. <i>Polystichum munitum</i> is present in the herbaceous and short-shrub layers at low cover values. Other common associates may include <i>Rubus parviflorus, Stachys ajugoides, Urtica dioica</i>, and/or <i>Elymus glaucus</i>.
