Botanizing the Marsh

In the saltmarsh, plant species diversity increases with elevation. So when ye get a foot er two above sea level ye get more plants than Spartina and Batis which is what ye get at sea level. Here's Palafoxia texana var. ambigua which grows on the lower Texas coast and adjacent Mexico. There's some Sida lindheimeri in the picture too and a crab spider, Misumena sp.
All righty then. Here's a skullcap, Scutellaria muriculata. Notice the crenations on the leaves. The truly learned spell the genus name as Scuttlebutteria.

And while I'm at it, here's Lycium carolinianum of the tater family.
