|phenology=Flowering spring–fall.
|habitat=Saline, fine-textured soils
|elevation=60-1500 m
|distribution=Calif.;Nev.
|discussion=<p>Atriplex parryi occurs with greasewood, saltbush, saltgrass, and Nitrophila. The cordate-clasping, sessile leaves and spiny branches distinguish this species from its nearest congeners.</p>
