Limonium binervosum, commonly known as rock sea-lavender,[1] is an aggregate species in the family Plumbaginaceae.
Despite the common name, rock sea-lavender is not related to the
lavenders or to rosemary but is a perennial herb with small violet-blue flowers with five petals in clusters.[2]
Eight rock sea-lavenders are endemic to Britain and Guernsey[3] and the taxonomy was reviewed in 1986 to include a range of subspecies.[4]
