Habitat note
According to Bak & al. (2012: 227, from the Polish): "... frequent, in places enormously on sea coasts, in estuaries and salt marshes. It occurs in inland naturally salty waters and in highly saline waters, but rarely in populations with a large number of individuals, e.g. in salty springs (Wojtal 2012). It is unknown how significant the autecological differences between cultivars are, as in the past they were most often not distinguished." - (22 May 2010) - Salvador Valenzuela Miranda
