Description: Arctostaphylos regismontana Manzanita Mug Shot No. 88 (37.428796 - 122.304167) Kings Mountain Road, at the archery area (under the PG&E lines) Vouchered by JEPS101966 This occurrence has declined since 1997, while the sympatric A. crustacea ssp. crustacea is doing fine. Note: the second image is a ‘mug shot’ illustrating older leaves. At this site, two yr age classes of leaves are present: the 2014 leaves are seemingly degraded, both abaxially and adaxially, in color and presence of ‘spots’ [what are these?, and what causes them?]. At this site, no 3-yr old leaves remain on the plants, whereas a few 2013 class leaves remained on the A. crustacea. Manzantia leaves die young in this wet, equitable climate.
