1_37 (Cont. from bottom p. 38.) Mountains. there is mahogany (Cercocarpus parvifolius), Garrya and at least two manzanitas. One has a good many short erect stems and they come from a curious stump at the ground. The shrub is 2 or 3 feet high. These stems are stump sprouts. There has been no lack of fires in these mountains. I call this manzanita, Arctostaphylos tomentosa. A. manzanita is here, but only a little of it. It does not sprout after fires.
