manzanita
(詳細はArctostaphylos''. They are evergreen shrubs or small trees present in the chaparral biome of western North America, where they occur from southern British Columbia and Washington to California, Arizona and New Mexico in the United States, and throughout Mexico. They are characterized by smooth, orange or red bark and stiff, twisting branches. There are 105 species and subspecies of manzanita, 95 of which are found in the Mediterranean climate and colder mountainous regions of California, ranging from ground-hugging coastal and mountain species to small trees up to 20 feet (6m) tall. Manzanitas bloom in the winter to early spring and carry berries in spring and summer. The berries and flowers of most species are edible.
The word ''manzanita'' is the Spanish diminutive of ''manzana'' (apple). A literal translation would be ''little apple''. The name manzanita is also sometimes used to refer to species in the related genus ''Arbutus'', which is known by that name in the Canadian area of the tree's range, but is more usually known as madroño, or madrone in the United States.
