Helianthemum gorgoneum is a rare species of flowering plant that belongs to the Cistaceae family. It is only found in the Cape Verde islands and is considered endangered by the IUCN. This plant can be found in the western part of Cape Verde, specifically on the islands of Santo Antão, Santa Luzia, Fogo, and Brava. It can grow at elevations of up to 1,500 meters and is typically found in sub-humid and semi-arid regions. Helianthemum gorgoneum is a mesophyte, meaning it requires moderate amounts of water, and it thrives in rocky and volcanic soils.
