Suaeda maritima is
an annual that occurs in sandy soil on seashores, with stems
branching well and growing to 20-60cm tall. Leaves are of alternate
phyllotaxis, 2-4cm-long, linear-shaped, with tips a little pointed.
Axils gather 1-2 flowers on the stem's upper parts. Perianths cut
themselves in five, with ridges on back surfaces. Utricles enveloped
with perianth lobes measure 1.2-1.5mm across and are in the shape of
an oblate sphere. Bloom time: September-October. |
