About Atriplex parryi S.Watson

Atriplex parryi S.Watson is a small, stiff, spiny shrub that reaches a maximum height of around 50 centimeters. Its sharp-pointed, scaly stems grow tangled, giving the plant an overall rounded shape. The shrub is densely covered in small, gray-green oval leaves, which grow up to 2 centimeters long. This species is dioecious, meaning each individual plant produces only male or only female flowers. Both flower types grow in long clusters spaced among the plant's leaves. Atriplex parryi S.Watson blooms between April and October.
