Field Notes

Description:

Small perennial shrub up to 50 cm high.

Habitat:

On the volcanic rocks of Cabo de Palos (Murcia). Next to the Mediterranean Sea. This plant is characterized above all by the specificity of its habitat: it only grows on rocks, in small fissures, exposed to the small drops of salty water brought by the continuous winds that occur on the seafront.
