Mimulus aurantiacus or Sticky Monkey Flower
Sticky Monkey Flower is a showy, drought-tolerant shrub with spreading branches, peach/orange colored flowers and dark, smooth, green leaves. Usually reaching heights of 3-4 feet, the woody shrub blooms from late winter into fall, and is found in California’s coastal scrub, chaparral and oak woodland plant communities. At home or in commercial landscape design, it needs water immediately after planting. Once established, it thrives in dry, well drained soil and full sun -- particularly near the coast.
True to its name, the leaves of monkey flower are "sticky". A resin on the underside of the leaves protects the plant from desiccation (drying out), and from hungry insects. In early spring, however, the plant is known to house the Chalcedon Checkerspot, a common butterfly that lays its eggs on the underside of the leaf so the larvae can feed on the leaf’s resin. Bees and hummingbirds also love this plant.
The leaves of Sticky Monkey Flower were commonly used by Native Americans to treat a variety of ailments. The Coast Miwok placed the crushed leaves on sores and burns, and the roots have been used to treat fever, dysentery, diarrhea and hemorrhages.
The bearberry is a dense, low shrub with dark green shiny leaves. It grows in mounds less than one foot tall which can spread considerably, taking root as they travel. The bearberry’s light pink flowers are smaller and less noticeable than its large red berries. Oftentimes flowers and berries will be simultaneously present amongst the bearberry’s lush green leaves. 
A great tree, bright green leaves contrasting the almost white stems and trunks. Early in the year (Jan-March) leaves come out aand drop at the end of summer due to lack of water, this is normal. Leaf-less and great for letting winter sun into a garden.
Yellow daisy-like flower with thick, fleshy, succulent and toothed leaves. Described as indestructable, one of few plants that can take high winds, being flooded with sea water, and being stranded when the tide flushes back out. They tolerate marine conditions along the coast of California as far North as British Colombia. They grow and spread quickly, forming flower covered mats generally less that a foot tall. The flower buds hold a sticky resin, hence the name 
This is a delicate creeping fern with deeply lobed fronds and fan shaped leaves. They grow best in soil and rock crevices, fully or partly shaded hillsides, and moist woods. However, they are intolerant of frequent summer water. 
Matilija poppy is another good chaparral/coastal scrub
Cleveland sage is a very aromatic, large sage, from the chaparral and coastal scrub plant groups with purple flowers and grey-green leaves. It needs good drainage, sun and minimal water and can grow to be more than eight feet wide.
The inspiration for the Native Spaces logo, Salvia spathacea holds high office in the pantheon of the Franciscan flora. This vigorous creeper grows wild from a rhizome in coastal areas from Orange County to the Bay Area, the northern limit of its natural range. In San Francisco it loves the windy, foggy conditions and summer drought, making it an ideal low-maintenance groundcover for mild sun or partial shade, especially under oaks or on exposed north-facing slopes. Upon the flanks of San Bruno Mountain facing San Francisco, this sage grows in fragrant
