''Halothamnus auriculus'' is a species of the plant genus ''Halothamnus'', that belongs to the subfamily Salsoloideae of the family Amaranthaceae, (formerly Chenopodiaceae). It occurs in Western and Middle Asia.〔 == Morphology == ''Halothamnus auriculus'' is a sub-shrub up to 90 cm high, with olive-grey or blueish-green pale-striate branches. The flat and slightly fleshy leaves are very variably shaped (lanceolate, triangular, ovate, cordate, kidney-shaped, or roundish), up to 68 mm long and 2,5–45 mm wide, with distinct membranous margins, often half-stem-clasping, the lower ones often decurrent, the upper ones often auriculate. The bracts are similar to the leaves. The bracteoles are adpressed to the perianth, scale-like, surrounded by membranuos margins, shorter than perianth. The flowers are 3,4-1,7 mm long, the stigmas are widened and truncate at the apex. The winged fruit is 12–18 mm in diameter, their wings inserting in or above the middle. The tube of the fruit is broadly barrel-shaped, at its bottom with deep, furrow-like, linear or curved pits.〔〔 file:Halothamnus auriculus fruit 1.JPG|fruit (lateral view) file:Halothamnus auriculus fruit 2.JPG|fruit (bottom) The subspecies ''H. auriculus'' subsp. ''acutifolius'' differs from subsp.
