Xylococcus is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the heather family which contains the single species Xylococcus bicolor, commonly known as the mission manzanita. It is a burl-forming, evergreen shrub to tree with leathery leaves and smooth dark reddish bark. From December to February, white to pink urn-shaped flowers adorn the foliage, often attracting hummingbird pollinators. It is native to southern California and the Baja California Peninsula, south to the Sierra de la Giganta. There is growing concern over the future of this plant, referred to as the "queen of the elfin forest, " as it may possibly lose up to 88% of its habitat and its wild seedlings are failing to survive more than a full year.

  • Xylococcus bicolor je druh rostliny z čeledi vřesovcovité a jediný druh rodu Xylococcus. Je to stálezelený keř s tuhými listy a červenou tence odlupčivou kůrou. Květy jsou bílé nebo růžové, baňkovité, v latovitých květenstvích. Plodem je červená až černá peckovice. Druh se vyskytuje při pobřeží jižní Kalifornie a severozápadního Mexika jako složka suchomilné keřové vegetace známé jako chaparral. (cs)
  • Xylococcus es un género monotípico de plantas perteneciente a la familia Ericaceae. Su única especie: Xylococcus bicolor, es originaria de Norteamérica. Es un arbusto que crece hasta los tres metros de altura y dos metros de diámetro. (es)

Known to and utilized by the indigenous peoples for centuries, this species was first described to Western science by Thomas Nuttall, who had found it on his journey to California. Nuttall named it Xylococcus, which is derived from the Greek word for "wood berry." Later botanists lumped this species into the true manzanitas (Arctostaphylos), but it has distinct features, such as the flowers and fruit, that support its generic placement. In light of its struggle in the wild, this plant is available from specialty nurseries focusing on California native plants, making it a distinctive and hardy shrub in the garden. (en)
