Arctostaphylos bolensis

Arctostaphylos bolensis is a species of perennial shrub in the heather family commonly known as the Cerro Bola manzanita.

[1][2] This species of perennial evergreen plant grows as an erect shrub 2 to 4 m (6.6 to 13.1 ft) in height, lacking a burl at the base.

[1] Arctostaphylos bolensis was described by American botanist Philip Vincent Wells in a 1992 issue of the Four Seasons,[3] a publication by the Regional Parks Botanic Garden.

[4] This species is related to Arctostaphylos otayensis, which occurs to the north in the San Ysidro Mountains.

The Cerro Bola is a mountain range southwest of the Valle de Las Palmas, or roughly between Tecate and Ensenada.
