Description
Species of Myricaria
Tamarisk
Tamarisk is an endangered flowering shrub that grows on riversides and roadsides. Because a large part of its range includes the banks of the Yangtze River, the Three Gorges Dam has dramatically influenced its habitat. Interestingly, constant seasonal flooding has pushed the tamarisk to evolve by developing increased resistance to flooding stress.
German tamarisk
German tamarisk is a self-supporting, tall evergreen shrub that is flood tolerant yet suffering from native habitat loss. German tamarisk is a late summer/early autumn bloomer that is typically found in gravelly ground by braided rivers.
Myricaria paniculata
Myricaria paniculata's distinct feature is its gray scale-like leaves and the fact that is flowers twice a year. Native to Eurasia, this plant grows in the sandier, drier areas of the continent. Recent research indicates that myricaria paniculata may have cytotoxic poison in its stems.
