epithet for coastal plain

[Jan Haldeman]

Glad I'm safe from Caesar! ( I hope )

OK, how about  ad + ora, adoras = along a coast ( would it be oras if after
ad?)
OR
ora  + planum , oraplanum, oraplana
OR ora + campus ...oracampus, oracampestri

littoral is really water's edge ( lakeshore, seashore ) , I was trying for
coastal plain...... often extending pretty far from the edge....beyond the
shore...coastal plains form big chunk of our South Carolina map!  Guess it
really might depend upon the actual range of the taxon..?
