" The question of what plants properly can be considered arborescent is always difficult to decide, and 

 in no case is it more perplexing than in the case of two or three species of manzanita, such as Arctostaphylos 

 manzanita Parry, Arctostaphylos glauca Lindley, and Arctostaphylos toinentosa (Pursh) Douglas. While 

 generally these manzanitas are shrubs, forming a conspicuous element of the California and Oregon foot- 

 hills chaparral, occasional individuals are of treelike form, the single trunk being from 4 to 12 inches or 

 more in diameter near the ground, with from 12 to about 18 inches of clear length, surmounted by a wide- 

 branched crown. With some reluctance, however, these treelike forms are for the present excluded from 

 the Check List. 



» Some authors (J. E. Small in 1903 and Britton and Shafer in 1908) have transferred this and other species 

 of Vaccinium to the family Vacciniacez Lindley, and have adopted in place of Vaccinium Linnaeus (1753) 

 the genus Batodendron Nuttall (18-13), under which the Farkleberry becomes Batodendron arboreum (Mar 

 shall) Nuttall.
