A genus of small trees or shrubs found in coastal salt marshes and deserts, characterized by small leaves and salt tolerance.
From Greek origin, the scientific name for the genus of pickleweed plants. Used in botanical classification to group related salt-marsh species.
Batis plants are architectural marvels of desert survival—their tiny leaves reduce water loss, their shallow spread-out roots catch morning dew before it evaporates, and they thrive in salt concentrations that would kill most plants, living in the harshest margins between desert and sea.
