Callirhoe scabriuscula
Also called Texas Poppy Mallow
Texas poppymallow is a rare, federally endangered perennial herb endemic to a few sandy sites along the Colorado River in Texas, grown mainly by specialist native plant gardeners. Its key requirement is deep, sandy, well-drained soil in full sun.
Callirhoe scabriuscula is a rare species of flowering plant in the mallow family known as Texas poppy mallow. It is endemic to Texas, where it is known from about ten populations in the deep sands alongside the Colorado River. Much of its habitat has been lost, which is the reason it was federally listed as an endangered species in 1981.
This plant is present in three Texas counties along the Colorado River in an ecoregion known as the Rolling Plains. It only grows in deep spits of windblown, alluvial sand.
