Beer (Pankova), S. S. & Demina, O. N. 2005: A
new species of Salicornia (Chenopodiaceae) from
European Russia.

Abstract
Salicornia heterantha is described as a new species
from the Rostov province in SE European Russia. It differs from other
species of Salicornia by (1) the central flower of
the dichasia being fused to the main axis of the spike, and (2) the
comparatively long anthers in combination with short inflorescences.
Only two localized populations are known, from saline clays on the
banks of a salt lake. S. heterantha shows a
peculiar heterocarpy: fruits of lateral flowers are dispersed freely
while the fruit of the central flower remains fixed to the
spike.
