Salsola komarovii / Okahijiki オカヒジキ

 

Salsola komarovii is an annual herb occurring in sandy soil on seashores, with stems branching well and expanding to grow to 10-40 cm in height. Leaves are fleshy, 1-3cm long, slender, and cylindrical, with tips pointed in an acicular way. Flowers generally singly attach axils with two bractlets. Perianth lobes are thin; however, after flowering, they become stiff, and the upper portions bend inside at the right angle to envelop the utricles. Bloom time: July-October.
