2011-09-03 Burgenland, Seewinkel - National Park (117 msm Quadrant 8266/2).The reddish-brownish plant cover near the shore mainly is made up of two plants from the aggregate
Suaeda maritima agg.: S. prostrata and S. pannonica - the latter is the one more common here on this place.There might also be some Salicornia prostrata (rare even in the national park) - but at this distance it is impossible to be sure, and as this lake is strictly off-limits for visitors (except with special permission of national park management) I couldn't check, while I was able to check on much more common Suaeda species later in the year.The reddish ones in the foreground however are
Odontites vulgaris. Water levels are low, as usual at this time of year; Zicklacke is a small saline lake.
