Eryngium (Apiaceae) 2:252

Eryngium vesiculosum

E. vesiculosum

Tasmania has two native species of Eryngium. These are both low growing spiny herbs. E. vesiculosum is a reasonably common plant growing in wet coastal environments (saline lagoons, herbfields in the salt spray zone). E. ovinum (=E. rostratum) is a similar. but rare, species that grows in grasslands and woodlands in some of the driest parts of Tasmania.
