| This
worldwide family is represented in Tasmania by one
introduced species Limonium sinuatum (notched
sea-lavender) and two closely related native species, L.
australe (yellow sea-lavender) and L. baudinii (tasmanian
sea-lavender). They are both rare saltmarsh rosette
species with conspicuous inflorescences, ending in one-sided
spike-like groups of flowers. The most conspicuous parts of
the inflorescences are the papery white and persistent
sepals. |
