Discussion
Casuarina litorea Rumphius ex Stickman is not a valid name.
Casuarina equisetifolia is widely cultivated in many parts of the world because of its salt tolerance; it is now considered an invasive pest in parts of Florida. Only C. equisetifolia subsp. equisetifolia is known from the flora area. Casuarina equisetifolia subsp. incana (Bentham) L. A. S. Johnson, from Australia and the Pacific Islands region, is cultivated elsewhere in the world and possibly has been introduced to (although not yet discovered in) the flora area. That subspecies is a smaller tree with a more rounded crown, longer and thicker branchlets, and more pubescent branchlets and infructescences.
Selected References
None.
