Atriplex fissivalvis, commonly known as gibber saltbush, is a plant species in the family Amaranthaceae, subfamily, Chenopodioideae. [2] It occurs in the Australian states of South Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory. [5] [6] [7] [8]
Atriplex fissivalvis is an annual monoecious herb 10–30 centimetres (4–12 in) high, which branches from the base. [7] The leaves (on a stalk of 5–10 millimetres (0.2–0.4 in)) are about 20 millimetres (1 in) long, with toothed or sinuate margins and an acute apex. [5] [7] It flowers in clusters [2] in the axils of leaves, [7] from June to November (in the Northern Territory). [8] Fruiting is from June to November (in the Territory), [8] and the fruit is without a stem and enclosed in bracteoles. [7]
In the Northern Territory it is found in the IBRA regions of Finke, MacDonnell Ranges, Simpson Strzelecki Dunefields, and Stony Plains. [8]
Atriplex fissivalvis was first described by Mueller in 1875. [2] [3] The specific epithet, fissivalvis, comes from the Latin, fissus (cleft) and -valvis (-valved), giving "split-valved". [9]
"Atriplex fissivalvis could be confused with A. lobativalvis , however the latter has fruiting bracteoles that lack appendages on the dorsal surface, are prominently keeled or have a raised area on the lower dorsal surface, have margins that are fused for over one-third their length, and has a preference for freshwater swamps and claypans." [8]
The Northern Territory lists this species as "Near Threatened" under the TPWCA act. [8]
