Eremogone cliftoniii is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae known by the common name Clifton's eremogone. It is endemic to California, where it is known from 27[1] to 33[2] occurrences in Butte and Plumas Counties. It occurs in forests and chaparral habitat on weathered granite soils. Although limited in distribution it may be relatively abundant where it does occur.[2] The plant was only described to science in 2007.[3]
This is a perennial herb with small, threadlike, pointed leaves up to 6 centimeters long. The terminal inflorescence is a cluster of flowers with petals 1 to 2 centimeters long.
