Type Concept: This shrubland association occurs on gentle to very steep slopes of variable aspect at low elevations between 18 and 613 m. It is characterized by a strong dominance of Salvia leucophylla in the shrub layer. The herbaceous layer is composed of both native and non-native grasses and herbs. The emergent tree layer is generally absent.
