Cakile geniculata, or Gulf searocket, is a fleshy succulent that grows in large patches on the back beach and low dunes. Some leaves are rounded while others have blunt, sawtooth edges. Its small white to lavender flowers, with four petals, appear in clusters throughout the spring, summer and early fall.
