Halothamnus glaucus is a species of the plant genus Halothamnus, that belongs to the subfamily Salsoloideae of the family Amaranthaceae, (formerly Chenopodiaceae). It occurs in Western and Central Asia.
Halothamnus glaucus is an important fodder plant for camels, sheep and goats and is locally cultivated. In former centuries, potash was extracted from the ash of the plants. The roots and above ground parts of the plants are containing alkaloids.
The distribution of Halothamnus glaucus extends from eastern Turkey over Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, northern Iran, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan to China (Dzungaria, possibly Kashgaria) and Mongolia, too.
