A tall chaparral (to 5-6m) dominated by Ceanothus thrysiflorus.
SITE FACTORS:
Relatively mesic sites (for chaparrals), mostly in the Mixed Evergreen Forest (81100) zone, or intergrading with Northern (32100) or Central (32200) Coastal Scrubs; below 2,000 feet. This chaparral appears to be early seral after fire, especially in the southern part of its range where it eventually succeeds to Coast Live Oak Woodland (71160) or some Broadleaved Upland Forests (81000).
DISTRIBUTION:
Outer Coast Ranges from southwestern Oregon to Santa Barbara County.
