Linnaeus

Atriplex littoralis, Grass-leaved Orache, is an erect orache with more or less linear leaves, which distinguishes it from most of the other oraches that grow in West Glamorgan. It forms quite dense stands of plants in sandy, coastal habitats, upper saltmarsh habitats and sea walls. It is also found increasingly along salted roads. It has a fairly local, coastal distribution in West Glamorgan with most records from Gower.
