Why is that ? You might ask . And the reason behind the beach cluster vine dwindling numbers is loss of habitat to urbanization and beach erosion .
This plant has been on the endangered list since November 24, 1993. With more coastal habitats being loss to residential and commercial development the jacquemontia reclinata population seem to have a grim future.
