About

Arctostaphylos imbricata is a species of manzanita known by the common name San Bruno Mountain manzanita.

It is endemic to San Mateo County, California, where it is known only from six populations on San Bruno Mountain. Despite its rarity, this manzanita is not a federally listed endangered species because five of its six remaining populations are protected by the San Bruno Mountain Habitat Conservation Plan.
