Apparently the "Spanish Moss" in California is a plant called "Ramalina".
See here: http://www.hastingsreserve.org/oakstory/LaceLichen2.html

Neither Spanish Moss (the southern kind or the California kind) is a moss.
The southern kind is a bromeliad, the California kind is a lichen. The page
referenced says that the California variety serves to capture lots of
nitrogenous material that feeds the oak. Dunno if the southern variety
serves a similar purpose for live oaks there.

Not just oaks, although they are the most common support. The site has a pic showing it on sycamores, and here it's on a Monterey Pine. <http://galleries.moosemystic.net/Monterey%20-%20June%202006/Point%20Lobos/slides/_MG_0419.html>
