Abronia ameliae, commonly known as Amelia's sand verbena or heart's delight, is a species of flowering plant in the Four O'clock family, Nyctaginaceae, that is endemic to southern Texas in the United States. [2] It inhabits grasslands in the deep sands of the Holocene sand sheet, [3] which is part of the Tamaulipan mezquital. [4] This species was named for Amelia Anderson Lundell, wife of Cyrus Longworth Lundell. [5]
