Wetland Plant of the Week #15

Batis maritima

"Saltwort"


Obligate, succulent herb found throughout coastal Florida. Leaves are cylindrical, fleshy and oppposite. Often found in mangrove swamps, tidal areas and salt marshes.

This one was photographed last week - adjacent to Wetland Plant of the Week #14 in Levy County, Florida.
