Phemeranthus (fameflower) is a genus of flowering plants in the miner's lettuce family, Montiaceae, native to the Americas.[2] It was formerly placed in Portulacaceae.[1] The name is derived from the Greek words εφήμερος (ephemeros), meaning "living for one day," and ἄνθος (anthos), meaning "flower."[2] Common names for the various species are often fame flower, rock rose, rock pink, and sand pink.[3]
