(L.) Aellen

Halimione portulacoides, commonly known as sea purslane,[1] is a shrub found in Eurasia.

Description

[edit]

The plant grows to 75 centimetres (30 inches) in height. It is evergreen, and in northern temperate climates it flowers from July to September. The flowers are monoecious and are pollinated by wind.

Taxonomy

[edit]

Botanical synonyms include Atriplex portulacoides L. and Obione portulacoides (L.) Moq. Recent phylogenetic research revealed that Halimione is a distinct genus and cannot be included in Atriplex.[2]

Distribution and habitat

[edit]

Halimione portulacoides occurs at the sea shores of western and southern Europe, and from the Mediterranean Seatowestern Asia.[3]Ahalophyte, it is found in salt marshes and coastal dunes, and is usually flooded at high tide.

Ireland

[edit]

Copeland Islands (County Down).

Uses

[edit]

The edible leaves can be eaten raw in salads or cooked as a potherb. They are thick and succulent with a crunchy texture and a natural saltiness.[4] The leaves are good for human and animal health as they contain important micronutrients like zinc, iron, copper, and cobalt.[5]
