Hemicrambe townsendii is a rare cliff-dwelling shrub in the family Brassicaceae. Less than one metre tall, it can easily be identified by its white flowers and small hanging fruit. It has a very limited range, only being found in Yemen. It is currently unknown whether the overall population is growing or shrinking.
