Description: Humboldt Mystery Manzanita. The label says "Collected by J. Roof in a Secret Place." James Roof was the first director of the Regional Parks Botanic Garden and a manzanita aficionado. The mystery manzanita was collected in the early 1940s. The red berry tells us that one of the parents was Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, which is usually prostrate or nearly so. The upright habit of this collection leaves a wide range of possibilities as to the other parent. Photographed at the Regional Parks Botanic Garden in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
