Chenopodium baccatum
Also called Berry Saltbush
Chenopodium baccatum (Syn. Rhagodia baccata), commonly known as berry saltbush, is a species of shrub endemic to Western Australia.
It mainly occurs along the coast of southwestern Western Australia, ranging from Geraldton, south to Cape Leeuwin, and east along the south coast as far as Cape Arid. There are also some outlying populations: it has been confirmed as occurring as far north as North West Cape, and well inland near Wiluna. It does, however, appear to be endemic to Western Australia; alleged collections of this plant from other states have now been shown to be specimens of the similar Rhagodia candolleana.
