Adenostoma sparsifolium, Redshanks or less commonly, Ribbonwood, is a multi-trunked tree or shrub native to dry slopes or chaparral of Southern California and northern Baja California.
Description
Shaggy falling shanks or ribbons of bark are one of the strongest characteristics of the Adenostoma sparsifolium tree, hence the common names. Redshanks are closely related to the more abundant Chamise (Adenostoma fasciculatum).
