Styrax redivivus
Also called California Snowdrop Bush, California Styrax
Styrax redivivus, with common names that include snowdrop bush, California styrax, bitternut, drug snowbell, and chaparral snowbell, is a species of flowering plant in the family Styracaceae. It is native to California, a shrub which can grow to 4 meters (13 ft) in height.
This tall attractive shrub flowers in spring and grows on dry bushy slopes at scattered localities from San Luis Obispo County to San Diego County. It is apparently absent from Santa Monica Mountains and all but the easternmost portion of the San Gabriel Mountains. In the Sierra Nevada it is a shrub of lower elevations below 900 m (3,000 ft) on the western slopes from Tulare County north. It occurs in chaparral, foothills, woodland and yellow pine forest, usually in open rocky areas.
