WILD FLOWERS OF CALIFORNIA 



MANZANITA ARCTOSTAPHYLOS 



The Manzanitas are extremely variable and it is difficult to discriminate be- 

 tween certain of the species. By some authors the genus is divided into many 

 species, while others have few species allowing for much variation within the 

 species. Miss Eastwood has studied the genus critically in the field and Professor 

 Jepson gives an excellent account of their behavior under fire in Aladrono, the 

 "Journal of the California Botanical Society." They form in part the chaparral, 

 characteristic of much of our California foothills and mountains.
