1. Limonium

   Limonium is a genus of about 600 flowering plant species. Members are also known as sea-lavender, statice, caspia or marsh-rosemary. Despite their common names, species are not related to the lavenders or to rosemary. They are instead in Plumbaginaceae, the plumbago or leadwort family. The generic name is from the Latin līmōnion, used by Pliny for a wild plant and is ultimately derived from the Ancient Greek leimon (λειμών, 'meadow').

1. limonium

   Limonium, often referred to as Sea Lavender or Statice, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Plumbaginaceae. They're known for their bunches of purple or blue flowers. They often grow in salty soils, hence the name "Sea Lavender". The flowers are commonly used in dried floral arrangements as they retain their color and shape well when dried.

1. Limonium

   Limonium is a genus of 120 flower species. Members are also known as Sea Lavender, Statice, or Marsh-rosemary. Limonium is in Plumbaginaceae, the plumbago or leadwort family. Despite their common names, species are not related to the lavenders or to rosemary. The genus has a subcosmopolitan distribution in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and North America. By far the greatest diversity is in the area stretching from Canary Islands east through the Mediterranean region to central Asia; for comparison, North America only has 3 native species. Sea-lavenders normally grow as herbaceous perennial plants, growing 10–70 cm tall from a rhizome; a few are woody shrubs up to 2 m tall. Many species flourish in saline soils, and are therefore common near coasts and in salt marshes, and also on saline, gypsum and alkaline soils in continental interiors. The leaves are simple, entire to lobed, and from 1–30 cm long and 0.5–10 cm broad; most of the leaves are produced in a dense basal rosette, with the flowering stems bearing only small brown scale-leaves. The flowers are produced on a branched panicle or corymb, the individual flowers small with a five-lobed calyx and corolla, and five stamens; the flower colour is pink, violet to purple in most species, white or yellow in a few. Many of the species are apomictic. The fruit is a small capsule containing a single seed, partly enclosed by the persistent calyx.
