'''''Abronia umbellata''''' ('''Pink sand verbena''') is a flowering and [[ornamental plant]] native to the western [[United States]]. Other common names include '''Beach Sand Verbena''' and '''Purple Sand Verbena'''. ''Abronia umbellata'' is a prostrate perennial with thick, succulent leaves (leaves occur few to many and are slender, [[glabrous]] to [[glandular]], [[opposite]], [[Leaf shape|ovate]] to diamond-shape with [[Plant stem|stems]] as long as leaf blades, stems are often hairy) and pink to purple colored [[flowers]] with white centers. Generally found in sandy, well-drained [[soil]] in areas with low precipitation, it can become a striking carpet-like [[groundcover]] in undisturbed areas after winter rains. Pink Sand Verbena tolerates seaside conditions and is found on the west coast of the [[North America]] from [[British Columbia, Canada]] to [[Baja California]], [[Mexico]]. Sand Verbena is typically found on beaches and sand dunes blooming throughout most of the year. Flowers occur in clusters subtended by 5-8 lanceolate bracts. The flowers do not have [[petals]], but the [[Sepal|calyx]] lobes are cleft giving the appearance of 10-16 petals. The limbs of the [[perianth]] is bright colored sometimes to purplish magenta and the tube can be green or red but always-glandular [[pubescent]]. The tube includes one pistil and three stamens. ''A. umbellata'' frequently hybridizes with other species of ''Abronia'', including ''[[Abronia maritima]]''. Its flower is fragrant at night and attracts moths. The foliage can be deciduous based on environmental stress. This plant is sometimes used in California in native plant gardening<ref>{{cite book | author=[[L. H. Bailey|Bailey, L.
