A type of plant found in sandy or dune areas, characterized by its ability to withstand harsh conditions and shifting soil.
Dutch compound word combining 'duin' (dune) and 'hewassel,' likely from 'hei' (heath) and 'wassel' (to wrestle or struggle), describing a hardy plant of the dunes.
Plants that grow on dunes have to be incredibly tough—they face simultaneous droughts, salt spray, and literal sand burial, yet many developed deep root systems that can stabilize entire coastlines.
