    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.
