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. |
