Hi, I am an Agronomist and a Plant Biologist; congratulations for this great site. I am looking the identification of a likely halophyte and succulent, found at high altitude here in Atacama, Chile. It has some salt excretion, so is it a resistant or a tolerant plant ?. I thought was from the Aizoaceae family, but it does not seem to be. Here some pictures, greetings, Ricardo. http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/6942/halophytehighaltitude00.jpg http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/6942/halophytehighaltitude00.jpg http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/6942/halophytehighaltitude00.jpg http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/6942/halophytehighaltitude00.jpg http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/6942/halophytehighaltitude00.jpg
