About

Jacquemontia reclinata is a rare species of flowering plant in the morning glory family known by the common names beach clustervine, reclined clustervine, and beach jacquemontia. It is endemic to the southeastern coast of Florida, mainly within the South Florida metropolitan area, in the United States, where little of its native habitat remains. It is a federally listed endangered species.

This is a creeping vine that has a woody base and stems that grow up to a meter long. The stems may climb on other plants. The vine produces fleshy leaves up to 3 centimeters long and star-shaped white flowers. The plant grows on barrier islands, where it can be found in several types of habitat, such as sand dunes and tropical hardwood hammocks. It grows in sunny open and disturbed areas, bare patches historically created by hurricanes and today sometimes created by human activity.
