Limonium lilacinum
Limonium lilacinum is a Turkish species of flowering plant that usually occurs in central Anatolia. Limonium lilacinums local name in Turkey is "camel ear" or "barren lavender". Limonium lilacinum is a member of Limonium, the most common genus of the Plumbaginaceae family, which usually grows in salty soil. The Plumbaginaceae family has six genera in Turkey and Limonium is one of them. Many members of the family are of great importance in the medical, ecological, and ornamental plant industry. Limonium is a genus which is widespread around the world. There are around 600 species of this genus in the world. Limonium has 21 species in Turkey, and 9 of them are endemic, including Limonium lilacinum. Description
Limonium lilacinum is an herbaceous perennial with a number of 2n = 36 chromosomes. It has a thick, small-branch body that is 20-30 cm long. The leaves are widely elliptical or rectangular shaped, 6-20 x 3-5 cm wide, blunt, or sharp. The sepals are branched in the middle or above, showing branching between the false umbrella or the compound emit. The bass is very short and dense. The basins are 2-4 flowers, 4-5 mm long. The outer brackets are wide-bristled, 1 to 1.4 mm long, wide-bristled, similar to the outer one on the first inside bracket and twice the length and almost the edge of the cucumber, rectangular-inverted egg on the second bracket is 3 times the length of the outer one, with a large membrane edge. Kaliks 3,5-5 mm, inverse conical to funnel, limb 5-lobe, lobes are rounded. Petals are violet-colored. Limonium lilacinum blooms between June and September at 900-1200 m heights. The most efficient environment for the germination of this plant species is semi-luminous. They bloom in a semi-luminous environment in 5 days and bloom in a dark environment in 7 days. Uses
While the fresh leaves of Limonium lilacinum are being eaten by animals, dried flowers are used locally by Turks as medicines. The dried flower branches of this species are also used as filling materials in the flower shop. The type used in the ornamental plant and pharmaceutical industry is also beneficial to edema disease. It helps to reduce bladder stones and relieve spasms and pains. It has been reported that it helps to spill sand and stones that accumulate in the urinary tract, which cleans the blood and removes harmful substances that accumulate in the body, and addresses complaints of rheumatism and nicricin. The presence of Limonium lilacinum usually located the edge of Lake Tuz and this situation is a risk for the continuation of the species. Because in these areas, especially agriculture, grazing activities, cultural and social threats, human activities, heavy metal pollution and climate factors are harmful for the natural environment. An endemic species, Limonium lilacinum, is in danger category “can be damaged” according to the Red List of endangered species. The Germination Features of Endemic Limonium lilacinum
