Alameda manzanita

Alameda manzanita is a rare, endangered plant that is only found in a few locations in California. Identify it by its leaves, which have stems so short that they seem to be directly attached to the branches, as well as its thick, smooth, red bark and the white flowers that appear in the winter. This plant is vulnerable to the fire-adaptation methods used to suppress wildfires in the area.
