Limonium bellidifolium, commonly known as the Matted Sea Lavender, is an aggregate species in the family Plumbaginaceae.
Despite the common name, Matted Sea Lavender is not related to the lavenders, but is a perennial herb with flowers with five petals in clusters. It occurs in the upper saltmarshes of Europe and southwest Asia and grows up to 30 cm tall from a rhizome. [1]
