Mabrya rosei is a mat-forming herbaceous perennial native to the Mexican states of Jalisco and Zacatecas. It has tubular flowers, whitish and the base and red to red-violet at the apex. It was first described by Philip A. Munz in 1926 in the genus Maurandya and transferred to Mabrya by Wayne J. Elisens in 1985.[3] Munz did not explain the origin of the epithet rosei but listed the collector of the type specimen as Joseph Nelson Rose.[4]
