Oenothera resicum is a species in the family Onagraceae, and the first record of this family in the Revillagigedo Archipelago, Mexican Pacific. Endemic to Isla Clarión.
The natural habitat of Oenothera resicum appears to be restricted to a single rocky outcrop atop the northern cliffs of Isla Clarión. This outcrop is geochemically distinct, characterized by high concentrations of magnesium oxide and glaucophane (Mg, Na), in contrast to the iron-rich outcrops found elsewhere on the island. The species' exclusive presence in this location suggests a strong ecological preference for this specific soil type, a factor that may be critical for future conservation efforts, particularly in cultivation.
