| Carpobrotus edulis var. rubescens |
Description: Introduced from southern Africa, this succulent species has escaped from gardens at a few sites on the coast. In parts of Great Britain this plant is a nuisance on maritime rocks and any spread in Northern Ireland should be carefully monitored. Normally the Northern Ireland plant seems only to have reddish-purple flowers (var. rubescens).
