It was estimated that one-half to two- thirds of the leaves had fallen, probably as a result of the dry summer season rather than frost. Verba Santa This shrub is widely distributed in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Califoriua. It is a pioneer species that germinates from seed the first year after fire in areas of burned brush that are mostly free of com- petition from herbaceous vegetation. A few seedlings may continue to emerge for two or three years after fire. Without competition, the seed- lings grow rapidly and the plants reproduce thereafter by shoots from stolons that grow laterally from ihc ]);ii(Mi1 plants (Figure 9). Such shoots may appear in tlie first growing season after fire and for sev- eral years thereafter. Mature shrubs are mostly three to six feet tall on the Tehama deer winler range. This species is not well liked by any kind of livestock, ami during sunnner scarcely any kind of animal, even goats, can be forced to browse upon it.
