Malacothrix incana is an uncommon species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name dunedelion. This species is a mounding shrub with wooly leaves. It is endemic to California, where it grows only in sand dunes on the beaches of the Channel Islands and isolated spots along the mainland coastline in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. Malacothrix incana was first collected in San Diego, far south of its present range, but the plant is now extirpated from there.
