Maurandya wislizeni is a scrambling or climbing herbaceous annual native to Mexico and the south western United States (Texas , Arizona and New Mexico) where it grows in sand dunes. It has tubular flowers in shades of blue to violet and white and more-or-less triangular untoothed leaves. It has been placed in a separate genus as Epixiphium wislizeni.[3]
The epithet wislizeni commemorates Friedrich Adolph Wislizenus. It is regularly misspelt "wislizenii".
