Description
Franciscan Manzanita (Arctostaphylos franciscana) is a rare native shrub. It is presumed to be native only to the immediate vicinity of San Francisco Bay and was presumed extinct for many years. It was formerly considered to be a subspecies of A. hookeri and some sources still refer to it that way.
