Limonium dufourii

In the 'Cabo de Cullera' located between the two types of beaches (Dunas Canopy and San Antonio), next to Faro. In this environment we can find a plant microreserve which is the only representation (globally) of Crithomo-Limonietum dufouri community. We are talking about a species that has only been known in this environment of sea cliffs.

This plant is an evergreen type of small size, which groups all spatulate leaves in a dense rosette at the base of the plant. In addition, between June and August, emits ears with blue-violet flowers, which are strongly hairy calyx.

Note that this species is endangered mainly by human action, building urban land in this area, in addition to the trampling of this area. Currently a path has been adapted so that visitors may threaten at least possible to vegetation.

Importantly, the great human influence on the ecosystem, as this is the main reason that many species of animals and plants have had to adapt to the environment, and can even lead to the extinction of a natural species as is in the case of the plant 'Limonium dufourii', according to the Red Book of Flora and Valenciano Catalog Endangered Species of Flora.
