Image of common iceplant
Description:
prostrate succulent on disturbed sandy, saline soil among local shell dumps on coastal plain. Naturalized, invasive, succulent inhibits growth of native vegetation by concentrating and increasing soil salinity and by a dense mat-like habit that crowds out other plants. Mats of dead stems decay very slowly and can continue to dominate an area taking several years to decompose.
