English term or phrase: Sea or rach
Hola, os dejo el contexto:

Sea o rach
Found mostly in salty areas in the Mediterranean and North Africa. It has small grey leaves and flowers collected in narrow spikes. The leaves can be eaten.

No encuentro plantas que respondan a esa descripción con ese nombre. Alguien sabe de qué se trata? Gracias.

orgaza / osagra / salado blanco / marismo / armuella
Explanation:
En inglés aparece como sea orach, sea orache o Mediterranean saltbush. Su nombre científico es Atriplex halimus, y tiene un montón de nombres vulgares en castellano. Los tres mencionados parecen ser de los más frecuentes.

"Atriplex halimus (Mediterranean saltbush, Sea orache, Shrubby orache) is a species of fodder shrub in the Amaranthaceae family, which is native to Europe and Northern Africa, including the Sahara in Morocco."

"Nombre común: armuella, armuelle orzaga, marisma, marismo, orgaza, orzaga, osagra, ozagra, ozayra, sagra, salá, salada, salada blanca, salado, salado blanco, salao, salao blanco, salgada, salgado andaluz, salobre, salobre blanco, sojón, sosa, sosera"

sea or rach
Sea Holly


Explanation:
It has some resemblance to Sea Holly (there are various species). The name is closer to "Sea spinach" but that doesn't really match the description.
