SESUVIUM
PORTULACASTRUM
Sesuvium portulacastrum
is a
sprawling perennial herb that grows in
coastal areas throughout much of the
world. It is commonly known as shoreline
purslane.
IPOMOEA PES-CAPRAE
Ipomoea pes-caprae, also known as
bayhops, beach morning glory or
goat's foot, is a common pantropical
creeping vine belonging to the family
Convolvulaceae. It grows on the
upper parts of beaches and endures
salted air. It is one of the most
common and most widely distributed
salt tolerant plants and provides one
of the best known examples of
oceanic dispersal. Its seeds float and
are unaffected by salt water.
This species can be found on the sandy
shores of the tropical Atlantic, Pacific,
and Indian Oceans. Goat's Foot is
common on the sand dunes of
Australia's upper north coast of New
South Wales and can also be found
along the entire Queensland coastline.
CYPERUS ARENARIUS
It is a large genus of about 700
species of sedges, distributed
throughout all continents in both
tropical and temperate regions.
They are annual or perennial plants,
mostly aquatic and growing in still or
slow-moving water up to 0.5m deep.
The species vary greatly in size, with
small species only 5cm tall, while
others can reach 5m in height.
Common names include papyrus
sedges, flatsedges, nutsedges,
umbrella-sedges and galingales.
The stems are circular in cross-section in some,
triangular in others, usually leafless for most of their
length, with the slender grass-like leaves at the base
of the plant, and in a whorl at the apex of the
flowering stems. The flowers are greenish, and wind
pollinated; they are produced in clusters among the
apical leaves.

Ixora
Ixorais agenusofflowering plants
in theRubiaceaefamily. It consists of
tropical evergreen trees and shrubs
and holds around 500 species.
Though native to the tropical and
subtropical areas throughout the
world, its centre of diversity is
inTropical Asia.
Ixoraalso grows commonly in
subtropical climates in the United
States, such asFloridawhere it is
commonly known asWest Indian
Jasmine.
The plants possess leathery leaves,
ranging from 3 to 6inches in length,
and produce large clusters of
tinyflowersin the summer.
In tropical climates they flower year
round and are commonly used
inHinduworship, as well as
Pandanus
Sida cordifolia
Vitex
Vitexhas about
250species.Common names
include"chastetree",
traditionally referring toV. agnuscastusbut often applied to other
species as well.
Vitexis a genus
ofshrubsandtrees, from 1 to 35m
tall.
Some species have whitish bark
that is characteristically furrowed.
Leaves are opposite, usually
compound.
The fruit is adrupe.
ZONE- 3
ANACARDIUM OCCIDENTALE
The cashew tree (Anacardium
occidentale) is a tropical evergreen
tree that produces the cashew seed
and the cashew apple.
It can grow as high as 14 metres
(46ft), but the dwarf cashew,
growing up to 6 metres (20ft), has
proved more profitable, with earlier
maturity and higher yields.
The shell of the cashew seed yields derivatives that can be
used in many applications from lubricants to paints, and
other parts of the tree have traditionally been used for
snake-bites and other folk remedies.
Originally native to northeastern Brazil, the tree is now
widely cultivated in Vietnam, Nigeria and India as major
production countries.
COCOS NUCIFERA
ZIZIPHUS
Ziziphus is a genus of about 40
species of spiny shrubs and small
trees in the buckthorn family,
distributed in the warm-temperate
and subtropical regions throughout
the world.
The leaves are alternate, entire, with
three prominent basal veins, and 2
7cm (0.792.76in) long.
Some species are deciduous, others
evergreen. The flowers are small,
inconspicuous yellow-green.
The fruit is an oblong, 15cm (0.39
1.97in) long, often very sweet and
sugary.
