Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: This association consists of shrublands found on the Channel Islands of California. Dominant and characteristic shrubs include <i>Encelia californica, Artemisia californica, Eriogonum arborescens</i>, and <i>Rhus integrifolia</i>. Those often present include <i>Opuntia oricola</i>. The herbaceous layer typically includes <i>Dudleya caespitosa</i> and sometimes <i>Selaginella bigelovii</i>. It is a coastal scrub association occurring generally within the fog belt. It appears to be limited to steep southwest-facing rocky bluffs. Despite its preference for sunny steep exposures, it is usually associated with some summer fog close to the coast.
