✦ Synopsis

Sporobolus virginicus is shown to occupy low-lying areas on the shores of Lake St . Lucia, where it is subjected to periodic inundation and widely varying salinities . Whilst seeds are not permanently affected by storage under waterlogged saline conditions, young plants are markedly influenced by both inundation and salinity . Older plants are more tolerant of these conditions .
