This is a beach species. Please move the pointer onto the beach by dragging it or by making the longitude value a little larger. Thanks. Betty

What's responsible for the change of mind about the species? I'd plump for glaucescens on the grounds that the foliage is quite blue-ish, but the two are very hard to tell apart. Unless you suspect it has been planted, then it is more likely to be the native glaucescens than the introduced aequilaterus.

Sorry, struggling with user interface, no change of mind!
