This Arctostaphylos is known from only a few other sites in the County. Occurring with it in the chaparral are whiteleaf manzanita, Arctostaphylos viscida, chamise, Adenostoma fasciculatum, and scrub oak, Quercus berberidifolia.
At the base of the slope, by the creek, there are Douglas fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii, and ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa.
