Carlowrightia henricksonii is a small shrub from the dry far north of Tamaulipas, Mexico, in the Acanthus family, with lily-like flowers. It is rarely grown, so care is best judged from its arid native habitat.
Carlowrightia henricksonii is a species of flowering plant native to the far north of Tamaulipas in northeastern Mexico. Like other members of the genus, commonly known as wrightworts, it is small shrub bearing inflorescences of lily-like flowers. No subspecies are listed in Catalog of Life.
