Tecticornia pergranulata
Blackseed glasswort is a succulent, salt-tolerant subshrub from southern Australia, found mainly in saline soils such as salt flats and coastal margins. It is grown as a curiosity or for saline landscaping rather than as a common garden plant, and it needs full sun and well-drained, saline or sandy soil.
Tecticornia pergranulata (commonly known as the blackseed glasswort or blackseed samphire) is a succulent halophytic plant species in the family Chenopodiaceae, native to Australia. This plant is commonly tested in labs involving its C3 photosynthesis and its unique resistance to salinity and adversity.
