Are the Manzanitas in the San Bernardino Mountains endangered or rare?
There are no threatened, endangered or rare manzanitas on the San Bernardino National Forest. The most common manzanitas are Arctostaphylos glauca (bigberry manzanita), Arctostaphylos glandulosa (Eastwood manzanita) and Arctostaphylos patula (greenleaf manzanita). We also have several other manzanita species including Arctostaphylos parryana (Parry manzanita), Arctostaphylos pringlei (pinkbracted manzanita), and Arctostaphylos pungens (pointleaf manzanita). Most rare manzanitas, including threatened or endangered ones are located mostly near the coast of California or on the Channel islands.
