Salicornia blackiana, synonym Sarcocornia blackiana,[1] commonly known as thick-head glasswort, is a species of succulent halophytic shrub. It is widespread in southern and western Australia , including Tasmania. Its preferred habitats are estuaries, swamps and periodically waterlogged saline areas.
Description
It grows as an erect or decumbent perennial herb with succulent, stem-like leaves, growing up to 0.8 m in height.[2] It is very similar to the better known beaded glasswort but is a larger plant and differs in having a thicker fruiting spike, 4–9 mm in diameter, and seeds with blunt hairs or papillae.[3]
