Sarcobatus
Genus of flowering plants / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the region in the southwestern United States, see Sarcobatus Flat. For other plants called greasewood, see Greasewood.
Sarcobatus is a North American genus of two species of flowering plants, formerly considered to be a single species. Common names for S. vermiculatus include greasewood, seepwood, and saltbush.[2] Traditionally, Sarcobatus has been treated in the family Chenopodiaceae, but the APG III system of 2009 recognizes it as the sole genus in the family Sarcobataceae.
