Tecticornia verrrucosa is a species of plant that is succulent and halophyte (salt tolerant). This plant was a member of the Chenopodiaceae, which are now included in family Amaranthaceae.
T. verrucosa was first described in 1972 by Paul Wilson.[1]
It is an annual or short-lived perennial which grows to 40 cm high, which branches at the occasionally woody base. The inflorescence is a set of opposite and decussate lateral sessile spikes, at right angles to the branch. They are cylindrical and 10–20 mm long by 6 mm diam. The flowers are triads with free tepals below and slightly united above.
It grows on coastal mud flats, slightly saline clay pans, and inland freshwater.[2]
The Walmajarri people of the southern Kimberley call this plant Mungily.[3]
