Parry's manzanita Arctostaphylos parryana ssp. parryana Ericaceae [The floras indicate that the chief thing that differentiates A.p. parryana and A.p. tumescens is that the latter has a prominent burl and is erect whereas var. parryana has no burl, many multiple stems, and is mounded and usually only 3-4' in height although it often grow higher than that. A.p. parryana has a lower elevational limit, whereas A.p. tumescens is more restricted in elevational range and also in geographic range.]

Interior manzanita Arctostaphylos parryana ssp. tumescens Ericaceae [It has taken me a while to understand and be able to observe the differences between these two taxa but in this area between Cooper Canyon and Sulphur Springs they coexist and sometimes are to be found right next to each other.]
