\"Panoramica<\/figure>\n\n\n

La macchia mediterranea non \u00e8 una singola pianta: \u00e8 una comunit\u00e0 vegetale. Conoscere le dieci specie pi\u00f9 comuni significa poter \u201cleggere\u201d qualunque passeggiata costiera nel sud Sardegna. Ecco il nostro mini-catalogo da leggere in cinque minuti, portarsi dietro in spiaggia, e usare come guida.<\/p>\n\n

1. Myrtle (Myrtus communis)<\/h2>\n

Small, round, glossy leaves. White flowers in June, blue-black berries in autumn. The basis of the liqueur of the same name.<\/p>\n\n

2. Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum)<\/h2>\n

A silver-grey cushion with small yellow flowers. A warm, spicy scent, almost of curry. It grows on the cliffs.<\/p>\n\n

3. Mastic (Pistacia lentiscus)<\/h2>\n

Arbusto resinoso dalle foglie composte. Resina balsamica (il \u201cmastice\u201d). Frutti neri a grappoletti.<\/p>\n\n

4. Strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo)<\/h2>\n

An evergreen tree up to five metres. Edible grainy red fruits. White bell-shaped flowers in autumn.<\/p>\n\n

5. Prickly juniper (Juniperus oxycedrus)<\/h2>\n

Arbusto spinoso dalle bacche rosse. Cresce sulle dune costiere. D\u00e0 stabilit\u00e0 al terreno ed \u00e8 pianta pioniera del litorale.<\/p>\n\n

6. Rockrose (Cistus monspeliensis, Cistus creticus)<\/h2>\n

Pink or white five-petalled flowers like tissue paper. It secretes labdanum<\/strong>, an aromatic resin used in perfumery. The first to grow back after fires.<\/p>\n\n

7. Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus)<\/h2>\n

Linear needles, pale blue flowers. It grows both wild and cultivated. A cornerstone and aromatic base of Mediterranean cooking.<\/p>\n\n

8. Tree spurge (Euphorbia dendroides)<\/h2>\n

Arbusto alto 1-2 metri con foglie lineari. A fine primavera perde le foglie e diventa rosso-arancio: un\u2019esplosione di colore lungo le scogliere. Linfa tossica \u2014 non toccare.<\/p>\n\n

9. Wild olive (Olea europaea var. sylvestris)<\/h2>\n

Antenato selvatico dell\u2019olivo. Foglie grigio-argento, portamento contorto. Vive centinaia d\u2019anni.<\/p>\n\n

10. Dwarf fan palm (Chamaerops humilis)<\/h2>\n

The only native European palm. It grows in low clumps, with fan-shaped leaves. A protected plant in nature areas.<\/p>\n\n

How to use this guide<\/h2>\n

Prova a riconoscere tre piante durante la prima passeggiata, cinque la seconda, otto la terza. La macchia smette di essere un \u201cinsieme\u201d e diventa un linguaggio. \u00c8 uno dei modi pi\u00f9 belli per legarsi a una costa: al Cormoran Resort Villasimius<\/strong> it often happens that guests ask for the names after two days, and after three recognise helichrysum and myrtle on their own, with their eyes closed.<\/p>\n\n\n
