Atriplex paludosa

Atriplex paludosa, commonly known as marsh saltbush, is a species of saltbush endemic to Australia.

It grows as an erect shrub up to one metre (3 ft 3 in) high. Leaves are oval in shape, 1–4 centimetres (0.4–1.6 in) long, and 2–15 millimetres (0.079–0.59 in) wide.

It was first published by Robert Brown in 1810 based on specimen material collected at Port Dalrymple, the site of present-day Launceston, Tasmania. Four subspecies are recognised: A. paludosa subsp. paludosa, A. paludosa subsp. baudinii, A. paludosa subsp. cordata and A. paludosa subsp. moquiniana.

It occurs in southwestern Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and coastal Tasmania.
