Note re the use of "aff" longispicata: the plant commonly described as T halocnemoides longispicata in SA differs in significant ways from the type described by Wilson (Nuytsia 3:1). The type is around 30cm high and occurs inland. The SA plants that use this name occur in the intertidal zone in metasaline situations and may be shrubs to 1.4m tall, although usually shorter.
