This grass thrives along the salt flats and has other common names like seashore saltgrass, etc. It is native to the Americas, where it is widespread. The plant grows easily in salty and alkaline soils, excreting salts from its tissues via salt glands. The leaves and stems were eaten by Native Americans partly for their salt content.
