Sea Blite

Suaeda maritima

Sea blite is a bush-like plant with fleshy and succulent leaves, with a semi-circular shape, plane in its upper side and breached at the end. Sometimes it can present much shorter leaves, similar to a banana bunch, among longer leaves. The color is typically green but can be red or purple.
