Helichrysum monogynum, also known as red tinderbox, is a species of flowering plant within the family Asteraceae. It is a low shrub native to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. The species is listed as endangered due to its restricted range within 8 km² of suitable habitat and the threat of habitat degradation due to urbanisation and recreational activities.
Helichrysum monogynum is endemic to the Canary Islands, Spain, where it can only be found on the northeast side of the island of Lanzarote. It can be found growing at elevations ranging from 40–575 metres (130–1,890 ft) above sea level. There are currently only three populations known in three different locations: la Florida, Las Nieves and Montaña Cavera.
