Die seeplakkie (Scaevola plumieri) is 'n vetplant wat aan die suid- en ooskus van Suid-Afrika voorkom en tot 90 cm hoog kan word. Die plant het klein, ronde, vlesige groen tot geel blare. Dit dra klein, wit, waaiervormige blomme in trosse by die blaarbasis. Die plant groei hoofsaaklik op duine en kom in groot kolonies voor.
Dit is op die SANBI-rooilys as veilig gelys, maar dit is nie endemies aan Suid-Afrika nie. Oorspronklik kom dit uit die Karibiese gebied, maar die sade kan drywend oor die oseaan vervoer word en het so Afrika, die Pasifiese eilande, Brasilië en Ekwador bereik. In Florida word dit as 'n bedreigde spesie beskou.[1]

Scaevola plumieri (common name gullfeed)[5] is a species of plant in the family Goodeniaceae which grows on coastal dunes in the tropics and subtropics.[4]
Scaevola plumieri is a many branched evergreen shrub, which has succulent hairless leaves at the tips of its branches, shedding its leaves below the tips to leave leaf-scars on the yellowy-green stems below. The leaf-axils can have either sparse silky hairs or none, and the leaves are either stalkless (sessile) or with a winged stalk, obovate, 5–11 cm. long, 2–7 cm. broad, and smooth-edged. There are 2-4 pairs lateral veins which are not easily seen. The inflorescence is a series cymes in the axils with one to seven stalkless flowers. The corolla is white or greenish with a tube 10–12 mm. long, 3 mm. broad, and crowded with hairs inside. The ovary is 2-locular but only one ovule develops. The fleshy fruit is blue or black and from 10 to 15 mm in diameter. The seeds do not disperse from the fruit.[4]
Scaevola plumieri is similar to Scaevola taccada – both were included in the original circumscription of the species. S. plumieri has short or absent lobes on its calyx and black fruit when ripe. S. sericea has evident calyx lobes and white fruit on which the calyx lobes persist.[6]

Scaevola plumieri was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 as Lobelia plumierii,[7][8] supplemented by Linnaeus' description of Lobelia in 1747.[9] Linnaeus later considered it to be the sole species in his new genus Scaevola, although the combination Scaevola plumieri was first published by Martin Vahl in 1791.[6][2][3]
Scaevola plumieri is found on the coasts of east Africa from Somalia to South Africa, the coasts of west Africa from S. Tomé to Angola, Ceylon, and tropical America south of Florida. It inhabits coastal sand-dunes.[4]
