Arctostaphylos hooveri, the Santa Lucia manzanita, is a plant species endemic to the Santa Lucia Mountains in Monterey County, California. It grows in woodlands and in chaparral scrub-land at elevations of 900–1200 m.^[1]

Arctostaphylos hooveri is a shrub or tree up to 8 meters tall, but typically ranges between 1 and 6 meters tall and 1 and 3 meters wide. Leaves are egg-shaped, whitish with wax, up to 6 cm long. Flowers are white, conical to urn-shaped, in branched panicles, and have red stems. Fruits are spherical or nearly so, about 8 mm in diameter.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]
