Neuman, M. inodora L. var. maritima (L.) Wahlenb. (ssp. maritimum), M. maritima L. ssp. subpolaris (Pobed.) Rauschert, T. maritimum (L.) W. D. J. Koch var. boreale (Hartm.) (ssp. subpolare)NO: StrandbalderbråSE: Kustbaldersbrå; nordbaldersbrå (ssp. subpolare (Pobed.)Hämet-Ahti)DK: Strand-KamillFI: MerisaunioIS: Baldersbrá (ssp. phaecephalum (Rupr.) Hämet-Ahti)DE: Küsten-KamilleEN: Sea Mayweed Having a circumpolar distribution in a number of subspecies and mainly bound to coastal areas, this is a biannual or perennial species with a strongly developed root system. It is often confused with its annual relative, T. inodorum, and they form intermediate hybrids. The UV signatures of these species are similar but not identical. Thus, T. maritimum apparently has higher UV reflectivity of the ray flowers combined with less development of patches with conical cells. More studies are required to ascertain whether these differences are significant. Specimen from Risør, South Norway, 28 Jun 2010.
