It was believed that differentiation of separated populations might be the cause of variations between populations.[40]. Missouri Botanical Garden. Vitex rotundifolia, the roundleaf chastetree or beach vitex is a species of Vitex that is native to seashores throughout the Pacific. Beach vitex is a perennial that grows throughout the summer months in temperate and tropical areas of the Pacific. Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA: University of North Carolina Herbarium. Vitex is technically the name for the largest genus in the family Verbenaceae, which comprises 250 species distributed all over the world. Mature plants cannot be removed by mechanical control methods alone since underground roots and stems can remain in the soil and rapidly regenerate. Beach vitex (Vitex rotundifolia): an invasive coastal species. 22 populations have been located on Santa Rosa Island and one at Perdido Bay (Sanson 1 [FLAS]; FLEPPC, 2014) as they do on Atlantic beaches south to Flagler and Volusia County, Florida where land managers continue to find and manage plants (FLEPPC, 2014). Missouri Botanical Garden. The foliage has a spicy fragrance. Although sometimes placed in the family Verbenaceae, the genus Vitex is a clear member of the Lamiaceae based on its laterally attached ovules and rbcL and ndhF molecular sequences; characters which are considered monophyletic for the Lamiaceae (Labiatae) (Judd et al., 2002). The vitex species are deciduous shrubs. [43] These same organizations believe that V. rotundifolia may limit the ability of baby turtles to reach the ocean after they hatch. Compendium record. The plant was originally described by the son of Carl Linnaeus, Carl Linnaeus the Younger The original description was published in Supplementum Plantarumin 1782.

Vitex is a genus of about 250 species of shrubs and trees, of which the Vitex agnus castus (chaste tree) and Man Jing Zi of Vitex trifolia are members. At maturity, V. rotundifolia produces blue-purple flowers that are borne in clusters and ultimately yield small brown-black fruits. Bae H; Kim Y; Lee E; Park S; Jung KH; Gu MJ; Hong SP; Kim J, 2013. Encroachment of V. rotundifolia into critical nesting habitats of migratory shorebirds, such as the US Federally Endangered piping plover (Charadrius melodus) (US Fish and Wildlife Service, 2009), remains an impending threat to species requiring open sand for nesting. The Arboretum of North Carolina State University, USA, originally recommended V. rotundifolia to the nursery industry where it became available in southeastern USA during the mid to late 1980s.
