Salsola komarovii is an annual herb that occurs in sandy soil on seashores, characterized by stems that branch well and expand to reach heights of 10-40 cm. Leaves are fleshy, 1-3cm long, slender, and cylindrical, with tips that are pointed in an acicular manner. Flowers generally attach singly to the 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.
