Suaeda maritima (Linnaeus) Dumortier. White Sea-blite. Phen: Jul-Oct. Hab: Salt marsh edges and disturbed saline habitats, possibly native, introduced from Eurasia, or a combination of the two. Dist: Usually considered (as by C, GW, S) to be naturalized from Eurasia, but Ferren & Schenk (2003b) consider S. maritima in North America to include native and naturalized components, these often separated (as here) into two taxa, "maritima s.s.", and "richii" (at various ranks).
