Malesherbia angustisecta is an endangered member of Malesherbia (Passifloraceae). [1] It is colloquially called clavelina. [2]
M. angustisecta is a pale green woody shrub can grow up to 0.5 meters tall. [2] [3] Its branches are covered in soft silver hairs. [3] Visually, it is very similar to M. tenuifolia , but can be identified by its broader calyx and higher crown. [4]
The sepals of M. angustisecta are "sparsely hairy" and nearly as long as the petals. [3] Its petals are white or pink, ovate, and 7-8mm long. [2] [3]
The first published description of the species dates to 1922 [5] and Hermann Harms is accredited with its discovery. [6] The specimen from which this species was described, was collected in the Camanä Province above Caraveli. [5] It was collected in 1915 at altitudes of 2350 m above sea levels in an area described as sparse of vegetation surrounded by other shrubs and cacti. [5]
M. angustisecta is native to arid and semiarid deserts of Peru. [7] It has been identified in the Arequipa and Caravelí Provinces, Province Mariscal Nieto, and Tarata and Candarave provinces. [2] It can be found at altitudes of 1800-3035m. [2]
Malesherbia angustisecta is currently considered endangered due to its restricted distribution. [8] [9]

It consists of evergreen shrubs or trees, noted for their colorful leaves, which are purple, chocolate, red or bronze-green. There are also a number of cultivars. Planting in full sun aids the leaf color to develop. In cool climates, the plant may need to be placed in a sheltered area. They will also grow in semi shade. This genus is closely related to the Australian Lenwebbia which also has four petals and similar though less colourful leaves.
