Callirhoe scabriuscula is a rare species of flowering plant in the mallow family known as Texas poppy mallow. It is endemic to Texas, where it is known from about ten populations in the deep sands alongside the Colorado River. Much of its habitat has been lost, which is the reason it was federally listed as an endangered species in 1981.
