Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima Sea Beet

Sea Beet is a sprawling perennial with shiny, dark green, leathery leaves which are triangular in the lower parts of the shoot and narrower in the upper parts. Tiny green flowers are produced in leafy spikes at the top of the stem in Summer. It is a common plant of shorelines and other coastal habitats near the highwater line in West Glamorgan. Both Beetroot and Sugar Beet are cultivated forms of Beta vulgaris.
