The salt herbs ( Salsola ) are a genus of plants in the foxtail family (Amaranthaceae). The botanical genus name is derived from the Latin salsus for salty, according to the habitats of many species.

description

Salt herbs are rarely annual , herbaceous plants , but usually half shrubs , bushes and small trees . The mostly alternate, rarely opposite, arranged leaves are sessile, simple and have a smooth leaf margin.

The flowers stand together individually or in clusters of partial inflorescences , which in turn are grouped together in paniculate or annual total inflorescences . The hermaphrodite flowers are fivefold. There are five bracts . There are only five stamens in each flower . The stylus ends in two scars.

The fruit is spherical. The embryo is spiral. There is no perisperm . The seed coat is black or brown.

The basic chromosome number is x = 9.

Systematics

The genus name Salsola was first published in 1753 by Carl von Linné in Species Plantarum . Type species is Salsola soda L.

The genus Salsola belongs to the tribe Salsoleae s. st. in the subfamily of the Salsoloideae within the family of the Amaranthaceae . On the basis of molecular genetic data, Akhani et al. 2007 the species of the so far very species-rich (over 100 species) genus Salsola s. l. divided into two tribes: Tribus Salsoleae s. st. and the new tribe Caroxyloneae , each with several genera. Synonyms for Salsola s. st. are: Darniella Maire & Weiller , Fadenia Aellen & Townsend , Neocaspia Tzvelev , Hypocylix Wol. , Seidlitzia Bunge ex Boiss. , Salsola sect. Coccosalsola Fenzl subsect. Coccosalsola and Salsola sect. Obpyrifolia Botsch. & Akhani .

The genus Salsola s. st. since Akhani et al. 2007 only 24 to 25 species:

In 2014, Mosyakin et al. before, instead of Salsola soda rather Salsola kali (= Kali turgida ) as a new type for the genus Salsola set. If this suggestion is followed, all species of the genus Kali will again belong to Salsola . For the Akhani et al. The generic name soda would be available for salsola species .

distribution

When the genus is split into several genera, the distribution area for the genus Salsola in the narrower sense is also smaller. The distribution area now includes central and southwest Asia, North Africa and the Mediterranean.

use

Harvested Salsola soda

Salsola soda , also called “monk's beard” or “ barba di frate ” (the term “Agretti” has recently been established), is mainly used in Italian cuisine. The young, thick, fleshy and stem-like leaves are raw or short blanched and processed like spinach. This type is also used to produce potash .
