Limonium (Greek, meadow or marsh, referring to the place of growth of many species). Syn., Statice of most authors, not of Linn.; Goniolimon. Plumbaginaceae. Sea Lavender. Mostly perennial herbs, rarely annual or subshrubby, useful for cut-flowers and for the rock-garden.

Leaves usually radical and tufted especially, in the herbaceous species, generally rather long, alternate along the st. in the shrubby species, linear, spatulate oblong or obovate, sometimes pinnatifid or dissected: fls. blue, lavender, white, red, or yellow, in little- or much-branched panicles, borne on a leafless peduncle or scape; bracts subtending the fl.-clusters scale-like, somewhat clasping, usually coriaceous on the back, and with membranous margins, usually with 1 or 2 fls. in their axils, sometimes with dense few- to several-fld. spikelets; calyx funnel-shaped, often colored, usually the showy part of the fl., and scarious or persistent.— About 180 species well scattered about the world, but mainly seacoast plants of the northern hemisphere and especially numerous in Asia. Limoniums are of easy cult. but prefer a rather deep, loose soil. From the delicate nature of the fl.-panicles the species are better suited to rock work and isolated positions than for mixing in a crowded border. Many of the species are useful for cut bloom, especially for mixing with other flowers. Some of the species are adapted to greenhouse culture, especially the shrubby forms.
