Tetragonia tetragonioides, commonly called New Zealand spinach,[3][4] Warrigal greens and other local names, is a flowering plant in the fig-marigold family (Aizoaceae). It is often cultivated as a leafy vegetable.
It is a widespread species, native to eastern Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. It has been introduced and is an invasive species in many parts of Africa, Europe, North America, and South America.[5] Its natural habitat is sandy shorelines and bluffs, often in disturbed areas.[6] It is a halophyte and grows well in saline ground.
