Saltia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Amaranthaceae. It just contains one species, Saltia papposa.[1] It is in the Amaranthoideae subfamily.

It is native to Saudi Arabia and Yemen,[3][4] in the Arabian Peninsula.[1][5] It is found on gravel plains with other shrubs.[6]

The genus name of Saltia is in honour of Henry Salt (1780–1827), an English artist, traveller, collector of antiquities, diplomat, and Egyptologist.[7] The Latin specific epithet of papposa refers to pappus the wind-dispersal mechanism for the seeds. It was first described and published in Prodr. Vol.13 (Series 2) on page 325 in 1849.[1]
