Calligonum leucocladum is a desert shrub of the buckwheat family native to Central Asia and Xinjiang, China. It is adapted to arid, sandy ground and is grown mainly for habitat and dune stabilisation rather than as a garden ornamental.
Calligonum leucocladum (many synonyms including Calligonum elegans) is a species of flowering plant in the family Polygonaceae. It is native to Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) and to Xinjiang in China. In Uzbekistan, it is limited to the Sokh River basin where it is endangered with a population fragmented by habitat loss from cutting and grazing.
