Limonium baudinii (tasmanian
sea-lavender) is a rare coastal plant that closely
resembles its relative, L.
australe. It grows near the waters edge in
grassy patches of saltmarsh. It is only known from a
couple of sites near Triabunna on the east coast.
The leaves are fairly succulent, more or less
spoon shaped with quite a long petiole and occur in a
rosette. The flowers have yellow petals, but the white,
papery sepals fused into a tube are more obvious. The
flowers occur in complex, many flowered complex
inflorescences. The flowers only occur on one side of the
inflorescence branches.
