J20150730-0027—Arctostaphylos ×media (A columbiana × uva-ursi)—RPBG

Arctostaphylos ×media—intermediate manzanita. A nothospecies, which means that it is a naturally occurring hybrid between A columbiana × uva-ursi. Nearly always occurs in the wild where both parents are present, thus it is probably not a self-sustaining hybrid. Fairly common in western Washington but with only a few instances in northern California. This specimen was collected near Point Arena. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
