The genus Tamarix (tamarisk, salt cedar) is composed of about 50â60 species of flowering plants in the family Tamaricaceae, native to drier areas of Eurasia and Africa. The generic name originated in Latin and may refer to the Tamaris River in Hispania Tarraconensis (Spain). 1 Description.
A skink is a type of reptile that is in the largest group of lizards in the world. Skinks can be found on all continents except for Antarctica. In fact, five out of the nine lizards native to Virginia are skinks, and they are all similar in appearance. Because they are smooth and shiny, they are often mistaken for salamanders. However, salamanders are amphibians that do not have scales covering their body or claws on their feet like reptiles.
