Coastal plant ID, please!

| A friend of mine was in the Savannah area over Thanksgiving. She brought back a sample of a shrubby plant which seems to grow in wet sand. The plant has a greyish, elongated but round end leaf. Woody pale brown stems and she said it was covered in small yellow flowers with a daisy type shape.
I recognize this plant in my memory, but not by name.
Can you please name it so we can look it up?
Thanks so much,

| Did she get it in the wet sand near a marsh or other water front? We have a lot of something like your description. I don't know any name for it except Marsh Daisy. I think it likes the salt or brackish areas. |

| Yes, it would have been in salty sand. I looked up Marsh Daisy on google and didn't really find anything (except chickens???!). I looked up beach daisies but those seemed to have white petals with a yellow center. The plant my friend saw had solid yellow flowers. THANKS! GGG |

| Then, I am guessing that we are talking about the same thing. I'll keep thinking. I have never seen it grow more than a few feet from a salty marsh/causeway/whatever. |

| I think you're talking about Sea Oxe Eye - Borrichia frutescens. Bob |
