  Elliott Chaparral Reserve
The rolling topography is covered with an unusually wide variety of south coastal chaparral, much of it a nearly pure stand of greenwood, intermixed with elements of coastal sage scrub.
Forty-five vascular plant species have been identified on the reserve, several of which have a relatively restricted distribution, such as ashy spikemoss, bushrue, and Xylococcus.
The soils, formed on an Eocene conglomerate, are thin, pebbly, and leached, making the chaparral plants, particularly chamise, more stunted and open than in most other Southern California locations.

Phylogenetic relationships within subfamily Arbutoideae (Ericaceae) were estimated using parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses of sequence data from the ITS region and part of the large subunit of nuclear ribosomal DNA.
The data support the monophyly of Arctostaphylos, Arctous, and Comarostaphylis, but suggest that Arbutus is not monophyletic, with Mediterranean Basin species more closely related to the clade containing Arctostaphylos, Arctous, Comarostaphylis, Ornithostaphylos and Xylococcus than to the western North American species of Arbutus.
Calibration of branch lengths with the fossil record suggests that a vicariance event occurred among members of the Arbutoideae between western North America and the Mediterranean Basin at the Paleogene/Neogene boundary, consistent with the Madrean-Tethyan hypothesis.

And the chaparral currant (Ribes malvaceum) continues to open its pale lavender-pink flowers, while the other currants won't appear until some time next year.
Look, also, for the manzanita relative known as mission manzanita (Xylococcus bicolor) in the Channel Islands section.
Mission manzanita, despite its common name, is not a true manzanita--it has peely pale bark and bicolored leaves, glossy green above and white below.

 Baja birdbush (Ornithostaphylos oppositifolia) Species Profile
The Baja birdbush fruit is a drupe containing five stones typically containing ten seeds (Hickman 1993).
In southern California, Baja birdbush inhabits relatively dense Coastal Chaparral plant community with both mission manzanita (Xylococcus bicolor) and chamise (Adenostoma fasciculatum) present on Olivenhain cobbly loam soils (Reiser 1994).
Baja birdbush is found within the United States at one extant location in San Diego County's Tijuana Hills where approximately 103 specimens have been located.

 Fires
These plants are fire followers for a couple of reasons: they prefer charate (ashy burned material) as a seed germination stimulant and fire clears space that may previously have been occupied by non-native grasses or other plants.
Three shrubs known to require fire for optimal seed germination are Catalina manzanita (Arctostaphylos catalinae, a Catalina endemic), Feltleaf or Island ceanothus (Ceanothus arboreus, a Channel Island endemic), and Mission manzanita (Xylococcus bicolor).
These plants have very hard seed coats that are scarified by fire and thereby “activated”.
