Common Name(s)Saloop, Berry Saltbush, Berry Bush
FamilyChenopodiaceae

Description

Low shrubby perennial with prostrate or ascending stems. (PlantNet)

Notes

Enaidia hastata has not appeared in rehabilitation work yet, at least to any meaningful degree. It would be very useful if it was commercialised. It would serve the function of a forb that tolerates poorer soils such those often found in Corymbia citriodora dominant forests.

Historical Notes

Distribution

The range of Einadia hastata extends from Melbourne, Victoria, to Forty Mile Scrub National Park located inland from Tully in Queensland. The inland extent is to as far west as Bourke in New South Wales and Charleville in Queensland.
