 Lawrencia spicata (Malvaceae) 1:88

Lawrencia spicata is a common native plant of saltmarshes and sometimes other saline places. Its leaves are very distinctive - they have a long petiole, and the lamina is quite broad and is connected to the petiole with a non-mobile joint. The plant has a rosette of these leaves which produce a leafy spike of flowers that may be about half a metre tall.
