Arabian Jointed Glasswort (Suaeda vermiculata)

The sand dunes of Erissel – the Socotra east cape – have some very specialized plants thriving in the wind-swept sand. This species was in some places growing in dense mats.

This location is windswept and hot, with only rain or brackish water available, but this is a specialist.
