Atriplex lanfrancoi
Atriplex lanfrancoi, also known as the Maltese cliff orache, is a species of plant in the family Amaranthaceae. It is perennial, evergreen, branched, woody shrub. It is endemic to Malta, where it is found on sheer cliffs along the coasts of the islands of Malta and Gozo. It never occurs further than 100 m from the cliffside. The Maltese cliff orache is listed as being endangered on the IUCN Red List. It was formerly assessed as being critically endangered. The species has a very restricted and fragmented range and its preferred habitat is threatened by natural erosion, limestone quarrying, and pollution caused by waste dumping. Its wild population is expected to number in the several thousands and is thought to be declining.
