Krameria lanceolata, commonly called trailing krameria,[3] is a flowering plant in the rhatany family (Krameriaceae). It is native to North America, where it is found in the southwestern and south-central United States, and the state states of Chihuahua and Coahuila in Mexico. It has populations disjunct eastward in the U.S. states of Florida and Georgia on the Coastal Plain.[4][5] Its natural habitat is in sandy or rocky calcareous grasslands.[6][7]

Krameria lanceolata is an herbaceous perennial that grows decumbent along the ground. It produces purple-red flowers in late spring through the summer.[6]
