Disturbed remnant patch of Los Angeles coastal prairie, with semi-permanent pools and vernal pool remnants (both now fed partially by urban runoff), annual grassland, willow woodland, and coastal sage scrub. Former oil field with gravel service road remnants. Area partially revegetated with CA native species which may or may not be native to the site.
Flowering
Uncommon arborescent shrub c. 3 m tall, in open areas; fls. cream. Scattered -- perhaps some planted in revegetation efforts?
