Therefore, knowing whether or not a non-native plant is tolerant of saline conditions can have important implications regarding potential invasive spread and the habitats might its it was Pallenis maritima not identified as a halophyte in the databases of Aronson Menzel and Lieth (1989), (2003), or Yensen (2012). Experimental data, however, indicate it is tolerant of high salinity levels, with electri- cal conductivity measurements ranging from 1.25 to 12.61 dS/m-1 during 150 days of treatment (Rodriguez et minimum al. 2005). For Aronson (1989), the criterion required for a plant to be classified as a halophyte is a with an salinity level electrical conductivity of 7-8 dS/m-1 during portions or of the at least significant all More plant’s life cycle. recently, however, halophyte has become more demanding, and the classification mM threshold of 200 Nad) salinity tolerance for a plant to qualify as halophyte has been raised to 20 dS/m-1 (~ & (Flowers Colmer 2008).

Pallenis maritima is one of a growing number of salt-tolerant, hardy, and attractive ornamental plants that have naturalized recently in southern California. Others include Lagunariapatersonia (Andrews) G. Don (Mal- & vaceae), Plecostachys serpyllifolia (PJ. Bergius) Hilliard B.L.
