Abstract
Limonium carolinianum (Walt.) Britt. is a New World humid continental, temperate, subtropical, and tropical maritime taxon. It is a long-lived perennial that is found in wet sand and clay mineral soils. This species is a salt tolerant halophyte where salinity values approach 30 parts per thousand. Reproduction is primarily vegetative. However, seed production is estimated at 1,000 to 10,000 per individual plant. Also known as sea lavender, it has been suggested as a species that can be used for re-vegetation efforts. Inflorescences of this species are often harvested for dried floral arrangements.
