Suaeda maritima Chenopodiaceae
A common mangrove associate
For Id 180309JM1 : 4 posts by 2 authors. 2 correct images as above.
Seen in the mangroves & along the dry tracts of islands in saline water. The first one seems to be Tamarix gallica, the second may be a Rhizophora species, but needs a clearer photo for proper identification I think images were taken in an island in either Tamilnadu or Andhra Pradesh it is Suaeda species probably S.maritima
