An isolated colony of the rare plants Arctostaphylos myrtifolia and Eriogonum apricum var. prostratum is found in this region, growing, as elsewhere, on outcrops of the lone formation. The variety of the Eriogonum is found only here.

Integrity: These stands are undisturbed though there has been quarrying in the past.
