Ericameria fasciculata
Eastwood's goldenbush is a rare, dense, bushy shrub endemic to northern California, growing up to about 50 cm tall. It thrives in sandy, well-drained soil and is best suited to sunny, dry conditions.
Ericameria fasciculata is a rare species of flowering shrub in the family Asteraceae known by the common name Eastwood's goldenbush. It is endemic to northern California, where it is known from fewer than twenty locations. Many sources described it as found only in Monterey County, but the Calflora database maintained by the University of California reports additional collections from nearby Santa Cruz and Santa Clara Counties. These collections are, however, from inhabited regions and might represent either introductions or cultivated specimens.
Ericameria fasciculata grows on sandy soils in chaparral, woodland, and scrub habitat, and sometimes appears in disturbed habitat along roadsides. This is a dense, bushy shrub approaching 50 cm (20 inches) in maximum height, its many glandular branches lined with needlelike leaves 1 to 2 centimeters (0.4-0.8 inches) long.
