@TitoAbbo I've recreated the page since I didn't see a good reason for it being rejected, but I don't have access to the info you put in the old page - do you have that saved so it doesn't need to be redone? FlightTerminationSystem (talk) 03:35, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Arctostaphylos nipumu is a species in the genus Arctostaphylos with the common names nipumu manzanita or Nipomo Mesa manzanita.

==Description==

Generally a 2 to 3 m tall, erect shrub, lacking a basal burl. nipumu manzanita is best recognized by its grey to reddish-grey shredding/shaggy bark, generally apparent in both older and young branches. Twigs have short dense hairs. Leaves are green, generally lanceolate or ovate, point-tipped, and have similar upper and lower surfaces. Flowers are white (pinkish-white), and fruits are orange-red, compressed, multi-seeded-drupes.

==Range==

nipumu manzanita is endemic to the Nipomo Mesa region of San Luis Obispo County, California. It is replaced by the hybrid shagbark manzanita (A. rudis) south of the Santa Maria River. nipumu manzanita is hypothesized to be one of the parents of shagbark manzanita.

==Habitat==

nipumu manzanita is found in sandy maritime chaparral and coast live oak woodland. Its habitat is fragmented by urban and/or agricultural developments.

==Etymology==

nipumu is a ytt (Northern Chumash language) word meaning "of the big house" and is the yak tityu tityu yak tiłhini, first nation, word for the Nipomo Mesa region. ytt does not include capitalization so the transliteration 'nipumu' should always be written in lower case.
