Limonium tetragonum is
a biennial herb inhabiting sandy soil at the seashores. Leaves are
thick, long-oblong-like spoon-shaped, tapering off to the bases, the
whole spread out in a rosette way. Flower stalks, a few, emerge from
the center of the rosette-like masses, making an excellent branching
on the way, and bear panicle-like inflorescences with yellow flowers
in them. The corollas, yellow, are deeply cleft in 5 segments.
Sepals are tubular and white. Bloom time: September-November. |
