- The actual flowers are small and white, while the colorful parts are modified calyxes (sepals).
- It thrives in salty, coastal conditions and is naturally found on Mediterranean sea cliffs.
- The winged stems that give it the name 'sinuatum' (wavy) also make it easy to press for herbarium specimens.
