Malacothamnus clementinus, an evergreen shrub, is a member of the mallow family (Malvaceae). It has numerous ascending branches with large, hairy lobed leaves and produces inflorescences of clustered, pink flowers. M. clementinus is found on sedimentary rock walls and ridges of San Clemente Island, Los Angeles County (CDFG 2002). Introduction of goats to San Clemente Island in the early 1800's has essentially decimated this species (Mohlenbrook 1983). M. clementinus was listed as endangered in August of 1977 (USFWS 1977).
