Malacothrix indecora, also known as the Santa Cruz Island desertdandelion, is a rare flowering plant found only on the Channel Islands of California. It is limited in distribution, with only a few populations on three of the eight islands. The plant is threatened by introduced mammals, such as feral pigs, and was listed as an endangered species in 1997. It is a small, mat-forming herb with fleshy leaves and yellow flower heads. Its natural habitat is on the bluffs and rocky coastal grasslands of the islands.
