Chenopodium curvispicatum
Chenopodium curvispicatum is a species of plant in the family Amaranthaceae, endemic to Australia.
It is a small Australian native shrub species of Chenopodium genus, which occurs in semi-arid and arid areas of Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. It is often referred to as cottony saltbush.
Chenopodium curvispicatum is found in well drained calcareous limestone soils within semi-arid and sand plain woodlands. Many of these areas have become degraded due to overgrazing, as well as being impacted by feral species including goats and rabbits. Chenopodium family plants form key understorey components of plant communities. In these arid environments, understorey shrubs provide valuable habitat and resources for many species of herbs and grasses.
