In addition to contributing to an understanding of salt tolerance, this study will provide information on the physiology of these two important coastal halophytes and on the role of salinity in influencing distributional patterns."p. 423: "Both species, cultivated under non-saline conditions in the glasshouse, grow luxuriantly, flower and fruit, which suggests that there is no absolute requirement for salt in Triglochin."}, month = {22 December 1993}, pages = {419-426}, keywords = {Triglochin, halophytes, salinity, growth, ionic relations}, author = {Naidoo, G.} }
