Saltmarsh sand-spurry flowers consist of five elliptical green sepals, five white to pink petals slightly longer than the sepals, 2-5 stamens with bright yellow anthers, and three short (0.7 mm), thread-like styles and three stigmas. In the Great Lakes region, saltmarsh sand-spurry is widely present along roads where salt is used as a deicer. Some sources refer to this plant as Spergularia marina, but ITIS rejects that binomial; Spergularia salina is the accepted name.
