About Limonium ramosissimum (Poir.) Maire

Limonium ramosissimum is a halophyte. It can tolerate a wide range of salt levels in soil, making it salinity-tolerant. It also actively lowers soil salinity by taking up salt and excreting it through glands located in its inflorescence. After excretion, these inflorescence parts can break off and blow away. By reducing local soil salinity, this process may alter the species composition of the area it grows in.
