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 so dense that it seemed like a silvery thicket. This location is windswept and hot, with only rain or brackish water available, but the Atriplex farinosa thrives here.
Native range is Egypt to Northeast Tropical Africa, Arabian Peninsula.
