-Schijn spurrie (Spergularia media) is a rare plant living at the Dutch Wadden eilanden. it grows in many types of habitat, including places with saline substrates, such as salt beaches. In North America it is a "highway halophyte", often springing up at the margins of roads that are heavily salted in the winter.[1] It is an annual or perennial herb producing a narrow stem lined with fleshy linear leaves. The small flowers have five pointed sepals and five oval white or pink-tinged petals. The tiny seeds have winged margins. In the Netherland is grows at Waddeneilanden. With the ebb and tydes it has to protect its pollen;so the moment water flaots ther heads they close their leaves and close wit a airbell in side to protect thier pollen against the water.
+Schijnspurrie (Spergularia media), is one of the only flowers that have there range on the lower salt marsh. When the area is flooded by the tide, the flower instantly closes it petles with an air bubble within the flower, so the pollen stay dry when the plant is under water.
