"Enchylaena tomentosa", commonly known as Barrier Saltbush, is a species of small shrub endemic to Australia.

Description

It grows as a small shrub, prostrate or erect, up to a metre high. It has slender leaves up to two centimetres long, and fruits that may be green, yellow or red. Both leaves and stems are densely covered in woolly hairs.cite encyclopedia | author = Wilson, Paul G. | title = Chenopodiaceae | encyclopedia = Flora of Australia | volume = IV | pages = 213–215] FloraBase | name = "Enchylaena tomentosa" R.Br. | id = 2511]

Taxonomy

It was first published by Robert Brown in 1810, as the first and only species of "Enchylaena". Since that time a number of putative new species have been published based on specimens that are now referred to this species; hence it has a number of taxonomic synonyms. Two varieties are recognised: the autonym "E. tomentosa" var. "tomentosa", and a less woolly variety, "E. tomentosa" var. "glabra", which was published by George Bentham in 1870.APNI | name = "Enchylaena tomentosa" R.Br.| id = 39642]

Distribution and habitat

It occurs throughout Australia, and has also naturalised in New Caledonia. It tolerates a range of soils, but prefers soils that are slightly saline.
