Halothamnus hierochunticus is a species of the plant genus Halothamnus, that belongs to the subfamily Salsoloideae within the family Amaranthaceae, (formerly Chenopodiaceae). It occurs in Southwest Asia and is partly considered as a weed.
The distribution area of Halothamnus hierochunticus extends from Turkey (SE-Anatolia), Lebanon, Syria, Israel and Palestine, Jordan, Iraq to western Iran. At two disjunct sites in Iran (Gilan and Fars) the species could have been imported as a weed. It grows in fields, where partly it seems to be a troublesome weed, and on ruderal places like roadsides or ruins, on loess or sand, often on saline soils, up to 1500 m above sea level.
