This highly desert-adapted plant is unfortunately not native, although many other species in its family are. This is halogeton or salt lover (Halogeton glomeratus), in the Goosefoot Family. It grows in disturbed areas, such as along sides of roads. It's a summer annual that can grow up to a foot high and has small white flowers later in the summer. It can poison livestock if they eat too much of it.
