Halocnemum strobilaceum is a species of flowering plant in the Salicornioideae subfamily of the amaranth family. It is native to coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea and parts of the Middle East and central Asia, where it grows in coastal and inland salt marshes, alkali flats, and other habitats with saline soils.
Distribution and habitat
H. strobilaceum is found around the coasts bordering on the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. It is also present in the Middle East and central Asia as far east as Mongolia and China. In Iran and Pakistan, it grows in the muddy coastal swamps immediately inland from the mangroves (Avicennia marina) that border the coast of the Persian Gulf.[1] In the delta region of the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, it dominates some plant communities in the salt marsh habitats.[2]
