'''''Abronia''''', the '''sand-verbenas''' or '''wild lantanas''', is a [[genus]] of about 20 [[species]] of [[Annual plant\|annual]] or [[perennial plant\|perennial]] [[herbaceous]] plants in the family [[Nyctaginaceae]]. Despite the common names, they are not related to ''Verbena'' ([[vervain]]s) or [[lantana]]s in the family [[Verbenaceae]]. They are closely allied with Tripterocalyx (Nyctaginaceae).

'''''Abronia''''', the sand-verbena, is a [[genus]] of about 35-40 [[species]] of [[Annual plant|annual]] or [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[herbaceous]] plants in the family [[Nyctaginaceae]]. Despite the common name, they are not related to the [[vervain]]s (''Verbena'', family [[Verbenaceae]]).

They are native to western [[North America]], from [[Yellowstone National Park]], [[Wyoming]] south to west [[Texas]], [[California]] and northern [[Mexico]], growing on dry [[sand]]y soils.
They make very attractive garden plants for hot, dry sandy sites.
