Sea beet
The sea beet, ''Beta vulgaris'' subsp. ''maritima'' ((L.) Arcangeli.〔Lange, W., W. A. Brandenburg and T.S.M. De Bock. 1999. Taxonomy and cultonomy of beet (Beta vulgaris L.). Botanical J. of the Linnean Society 130:81-96.〕), is a member of the family Amaranthaceae, previously of the Chenopodiaceae. Carl Linnaeus first described ''Beta vulgaris'' in 1753; in the second edition of ''Species Plantarum'' in 1762, he divided the species into wild and cultivated varieties, giving the name ''Beta maritima'' to the wild taxon.
The sea beet is native to the coasts of Europe, northern Africa, and southern Asia.
The sea beet is the wild ancestor of common vegetables such as beetroot, sugar beet, and Swiss chard. Its leaves have a pleasant texture and taste when served raw or cooked, and because of this, it is also known as wild spinach.
It is a perennial plant which grows up to 1.2 m, and flowers in the summer. Its flowers are hermaphroditic, and wind-pollinated. It requires moist, well-drained soils, and does not tolerate shade. However, it is able to tolerate relatively high levels of sodium in its environment.
