Some of these plants, especially the Arundo arenaria or arenosa, or Psamma or Psammophila arenaria--Klittetag, or Hjelme in Danish, helm in Dutch, Dunenhalm, Sandschilf, or Hugelrohr in German, gourbet in French, and marram in English--are exclusively confined to sandy soils, and thrive well only in a saline atmosphere.
