Atriplex semibaccata, the Australian saltbush, berry saltbush, or creeping saltbush, is native to Australia commonly found in coastal regions from Victoria to Cardwell in Queensland. It has a prostrate growing ground cover plant in the Amaranthaceae family that grows to around 180 cm wide and flowers year round. It is tolerant of saline and dry conditions making it commonly used as an animal feed source in poorer agricultural areas.
