Suaeda Corniculata
__NOTOC__ ''Suaeda'' is a genus of plants also known as seepweeds and sea-blites. Most species are confined to saline or alkaline soil habitats, such as coastal salt-flats and tidal wetlands. Many species have thick, succulent leaves, a characteristic seen in various plant genera that thrive in salty habitats (halophile plants). There are about 110 species in the genus ''Suaeda''. The most common species in northwestern Europe is ''S. maritima''. It grows along the coasts, especially in saltmarsh areas, and is known in Britain as "common sea-blite", but as "herbaceous seepweed" in the USA. It is also common along the east coast of North America from Virginia northward. One of its varieties is common in tropical Asia on the land-side edge of mangrove tidal swamps. Another variety of this polymorphic species is common in tidal zones all around Australia (''Suaeda maritima var. australis'' is also classed as ''S. australis'').

Suaeda Maritima
''Suaeda maritima'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae known by the common names herbaceous seepweed and annual seablite. Description It is a yellow-green shrub with fleshy, succulent leaves and green flowers. It grows to about 35 cm in salt marsh A salt marsh or saltmarsh, also known as a coastal salt marsh or a tidal marsh, is a coastal ecosystem in the upper coastal intertidal zone between land and open saltwater or brackish water that is regularly flooded by the tides. It is domin ...es. Retrieved 5 September 2012. It is edible as a leaf vegetable, and due to its high salt content it can be used in combination with other foods as a seasoning. It is found worldwide, but in North America it is primarily located on the northern east coast. Habitat This plant resides in aquatic, terrestrial, and wetland habitats. But mainly in salt marshes and sea shores, usually below the high water mark. Additionally, ''Suaeda maritima'' is able to catch ...

Suaeda Aegyptiaca
''Suaeda aegyptiaca'' is a species of succulent plant in the family Amaranthaceae (formerly classified under the Chenopodiaceae), and salt-tolerant (halophyte) plant that is distributed in eastern North Africa, the Near East and West Asia. Local vernacular names for this plant in Qatar are ''juliman'', ''guluman'', ''ikhreet'' or ''hamd''. Taxonomy The species was first described under the basionym ''Chenopodium aegyptiacum'' in 1757 by Fredrik Hasselqvist, an early Swedish scientific explorer of the Levant and Arabia, and a student of Linnaeus. Hasselqvist collected the holotype in Alexandria, Egypt, although the ''Suaeda'' specialist Helmut Freitag stated in 1989 that it is probably lost. Although it has bounced around between genera over the centuries, at present the taxon is considered to belong within the genus ''Suaeda''. It was moved to the genus ''Suaeda'' by the well-known Israeli botanist Daniel Zohary in 1957, also sometimes incorrectly said to be 1955. Although th ...

Suaeda Monoica
''Suaeda monoica'' is a species of flowering plant in the sea-blite genus ''Suaeda'', largely native to the shores of the Indian Ocean from South Africa to Sri Lanka, and salty areas inland. It has been introduced in Argentina. It exhibits phenotypic plasticity, with leaves that are much more succulent In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents, are plants with parts that are thickened, fleshy, and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. The word ''succulent'' comes from the Latin word ''sucus'', meani ... when grown under higher salinity conditions. Its leaves are edible, and it is used as an animal fodder plant where it grows.

Suaeda Fruticosa
''Suaeda fruticosa'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae (formerly placed in the family Chenopodiaceae). It is a small shrub, with very variable appearance over its wide range. It is a halophyte, and occurs in arid and semi-arid saltflats, salt marshes and similar habitats. Description ''Suaeda fruticosa'' is a low shrub growing to a height of about . It is extremely variable throughout its wide range in height, growth habit, colouring, internode length, leaf shape, and the size and orientation of inflorescences and fruits. It is usually a rounded, much-branched bush but can be prostrate, climbing or straggling. It is densely-branched, the stems feeling very rough when the leaves are shed, pale green at first, becoming grey and fissured. The leaves are succulent, the smaller ones being long and narrow while the larger ones are elliptical. The flowers grow in clusters in the leaf axils. Some are bisexual, being drum-shaped and up to wide, with five succulen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
