Nomenclature:

SALAOLA L.

Area distribution:

Following the molecular investigations, the genus Salsola actually includes fewer taxa than conceived before. Formerly, its circumscription was extended to about 240 species, but now the majority of the former Salsola taxa are treated as species of Caroxylon and some as Kali. Lectotype (Britton & Brown, 1913): S. soda L.
