Names and sources

Accepted Name Source
Salsola L.
  • APC nom. cons.
According to:Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (29 September 2022), Australian Plant Census
Published in:Linnaeus, C. (1 May 1753), Species Plantarum 1 [222]

A satisfactory taxonomic treatment of the genus Salsola in Australia is still lacking. P.G.Wilson, Fl. Australia 4: 314 tentatively referred Australian material to S. kali s.l., while S.Rilke, Biblioth. Bot. 149: 1-190 (1999) treated Australian plants as S. tragus (with three subspecies, subsp. tragus, subsp. grandiflora and subsp. pontica), although little Australian material was examined in that study. C.P.B.Borger et al., Austral. J. Bot. 56: 600-608 (2008) studied Salsola populations in the south-west of Western Australia, and referred material to S. australis (syn. S. kali subsp. austroafricana; often regarded as synonymous with either S. kali or S. tragus subsp. tragus) and S. tragus subsp. tragus. The findings of Borger et al. are corroborated in part by G.F.Hrusa & J.F.Gaskin, Madrono 55: 113-131 (2008), who suggest that Australian Salsola represents a separate species complex, of which S. australis is the "typical form". R.J.Chinnock, J. Adelaide Bot. Garden 24: 75-80 (2010) adopts the name S. australis for plants in WA and SA.
