Plants on Corinth beach IDd by John as Mattiola tricuspidata and Cakile maritima
« on: December 11, 2011, 02:52:39 PM »
I saw these two plants on the beach last week.
In the past I had identified the short one as  Mattiola sinuata, I might be wrong.
I haven't started looking for the long one.
Any Ideas?

Really hard to see the relevant details but I would say on the right probably Matthiola tricuspidata and on the left Cakile maritima.

Does this help to identify it as cakile maritima?
