Of California's total plant population, 2,153 species, subspecies, and varieties are endemic and native to California alone, according to the 1993 Jepson Manual study. [4] This botanical diversity stems not only from the size of the state, but also its diverse topographies , climates, and soils (e.g. serpentine outcrops ).

The Endemic flora of the State of California — native plants found within its borders, and nowhere else in nature.; The largest area of the state is in the Mediterranean climate floristic region, within the California Floristic Province — with the greatest number of endemic plants in North America.
Rosa californica is a common plant native to California. It is primarily found in elevations of below 6,000 feet. It is primarily found in elevations of below 6,000 feet. While most common in moist regions like river banks, the plant can also adapt to various soil textures, develop drought resistance, and has common-pest and disease resistance.
The California Floristic Province is a world biodiversity hotspot as defined by Conservation International, due to an unusually high concentration of endemic plants: approximately 8,000 plant species in the geographic region, and over 3,400 taxa limited to the CFP proper, as well as having lost over 70% of its primary vegetation. A biodiversity ...
The fruit is spherical, 4 to 5 centimeters in diameter, and covered in prickles of variable density, up to 1 centimeter long but without hooks. Unripe fruit are bright green, ripening to yellow. The fruit swells as it ripens until finally rupturing and releasing the large seeds. Fruit begin to form in spring and ripen by early summer.
The reddish-brown fruit is a pome, 2–3 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) diameter, with wide-spreading persistent sepals around a central pit, giving a 'hollow' appearance to the fruit. [7] In cultivated forms the diameter is even between 3 and 8 cm ( 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 and 3 + 1 ⁄ 4 in).
Frangula californica is a shrub 0.9–3.7 metres (3–12 ft) tall. [7] It is variable in form across subspecies.In favorable conditions the plant can develop into a small tree over 3.7 m (12 ft) tall. [3]
