• A halophyte is a salt-tolerant plant that grows in soil or waters of high salinity, coming into contact with saline water through its roots or by salt spray, such as in saline semi-deserts, mangrove swamps, marshes and sloughs, and seashores.
• Crambe maritima is a halophyte, meaning that it tolerates salt and is therefore found on coastal beaches where little else thrives.
• Sarcobatus vermiculatus, native to North America, is a halophyte plant, and is sometimes informally called a saltbush.
• There are several mangrove species: Rhizophora mangle, Avicennia germinans, Laguncularia racemosa and Conocarpus erectus, extensive seagrass meadows (Thalassia testudinum), halophyte species such as glass grass, red purslane or beach bell (Sesuvium portulacastrum), cacti such as a prickly pear cactus or guasábara (Opuntia caribea) and a crop or melon cactus (Melocactus caesius).
• The halophyte flora which is adaptable to the salt marshes and the soils with high salt concentrations is represented by some of the rarest plants of Sicily, like the sea marigold (Calendula maritima), Limoniastrum monopetalum, Cynomorium coccineum or Limonium densiflorum.
• The original English glasswort plants belong to the genus Salicornia, but today the glassworts include halophyte plants from several genera, some of which are native to continents unknown to the medieval English, and growing in ecosystems, such as mangrove swamps, never envisioned when the term glasswort was coined.
• The chisel-toothed kangaroo rat also mitigates the saltiness of the halophyte it eats (the shadscale) by using its broad, sharp lower incisors to scrape off the leaves' salty outerlayer to reach the less-salty center.
• As a halophyte, capable of growing in substrates with high salt concentrations, this glasswort is a perennial herb or subshrub growing in low clumps up to a meter wide mature plants having woody bases branching into fleshy, jointed green stems.
• Batis maritima, the saltwort or beachwort (also known as turtleweed, pickleweed, barilla, planta de sal, camphire, herbe-à-crâbes, and akulikuli-kai), is a halophyte.
• Propelargonidins can be found in the rhizomes of the fern Drynaria fortunei, in buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), and in the edible halophyte Carpobrotus edulis.
• It is a protected natural place where needlegrass (esparto) is the most abundant species along with halophyte (salt tolerant) species.
• This biosphere reserve includes the desert ecosystems of the central part of the Chihuahua Desert, where there is a predomination of xerophytic scrubland and chaparral with various compositions forming mosaics of halophyte vegetation in the lower parts.
• Salt-rich soils are home to salt-tolerant (halophyte) plant communities, including species of Suaeda, Salsola, and Limonium, and Arthrocaulon macrostachyum, Atriplex halimus, Anabasis articulata, and Haloxylon articulatum.
