It has been suggested that this group should be considered more like a group of genera rather than as a monophyletic natural group (Hernandez-Ledesma <em>et al.<\/em>, 2015. 342). Therefore, some databases consider valid genera such as <em>Caroxylon <\/em>Thunb., especially since the publication by Akhani <em>et al. <\/em>2007, or <em>Nitrosalsola <\/em>Tzvelev, after Feodorova 2015, based on morphological and phylogenetic aspects. In various Floras and studies <em>Salsola <\/em>is maintained, including sections or subsections like <em>Salsola<\/em>, <em>Darniella, Caroxylon, Vermiculatae, Tetragona,<\/em> etc.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the great morphological variability of the species, already large even within the same species, is altered by the extreme environmental conditions in which they grow (salinity of the substrate, aridity that can be extreme); these environmental conditions apparently modify the plant\u2019s appearance (leaf length, indumentum, inflorescences, etc.). For this reason, various authors argue for the validity of many taxa that have been described.<\/p>\n<p>So the correct identification of the different species is not without serious problems given the great morphological similarity between them, making the status of many of them uncertain (Freitag, 1997; Klopper &amp; Van Wyk, 2001; Mosyakin, 2003, Schutze <em>et al. <\/em>2003). Thus, there are two points of view when defining a species: a synthesising approach, that defends the concept of mega species (Freitag, 1997), and an analytic approach, whose greatest exponent is the Russian botanist V. P. Botschantzev, who has proposed the concept of microspecies (Akhani <em>et al. <\/em>2007).<\/p>\n<p>In North Africa there are almost fifty species, most of them shrublets that barely exceed 1 m in height, rarely shrubs up to 2.5 m. They are distributed across most of the region.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b ChMk0b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"en\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"es\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">In addition to the clearly autochthonous species discussed here, it is worth mentioning 2 more species:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em> S. genistoides<\/em> Juss. ex Poir. (<em>Caroxylon tamariscifolium<\/em> Moq.), with curious general broom-like or spathaceous appearance; stems strongly striated with linear and usually long leaves, up to 25 mm, but in certain specimens can be very short (3-25 \u00d7 0.5-1 mm), promptly deciduous; inflorescence in a characteristic terminal panicle or spike. It grows on loamy, subsaline terrain, in arid and semiarid environments in SE Spain. It has been cited in Morocco, although there are doubts about its presence in the region.<\/p>\n<p><em> S. paletzkiana<\/em> Litv, shrub up to 4 m high, leaves filiform, narrow and very long (4-10 cm), alternate; flowers solitary in the leaf axil and fruit perianth up to 25 mm in diameter. It is native to Turkestan but it has been introduced and is now naturalised at least in several Algerian oasis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-11714","genus","type-genus","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Salsola L. - North Africa Trees<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Salsola L. - North Africa Trees\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Complex genus in which, despite the absence of a global taxonomic treatment, its species have been studied in depth from the morphological, physiological, anatomical, biochemical and molecular point of view.
