Samphire information


Norfolk Samphire (Salicornia europaea)

Samphire is a name given to a number of succulent salt-tolerant plants (halophytes) that tend to be associated with water bodies.

  • Rock samphire (Crithmum maritimum) is a coastal species with white flowers that grows in Ireland, the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man.[1] This is probably the species mentioned by Shakespeare in King Lear.[2]
  • Golden samphire (Limbarda crithmoides) is a coastal species with yellow flowers that grows across Eurasia.
  • Several species in the genus Salicornia, known as "marsh samphire" in Britain.[3]
  • Blutaparon vermiculare, Central America, southeastern North America
  • Tecticornia, Australia
  • Sarcocornia, cosmopolitan

Following the construction of the Channel Tunnel, the nature reserve created on new land near Folkestone made from excavated rock was named "Samphire Hoe".[2]
