--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Herbs,</b> annual, prostrate to erect, green to dark red, 0.5–8(–10) dm, glaucous. <b>Stems</b> decumbent to erect, green to dark red, usually striped, simple or branched; branches decumbent, ascending, or spreading. <b>Leaves</b> often tightly ascending, sometimes ± spreading; blade linear-lanceolate, adaxial surface flat, (5–)10–40 × 0.2–15 mm, usually widest proximal to middle, apex acute to apiculate. <b>Glomes</b> usually crowded in 1–6 cm compound spikes, 3–5(–7)-flowered; bracts subtending branches leaflike, often slightly broader than leaves, bracts subtending glome similar in shape to leaves, 2–12 × 0.8–1.5 mm, broadest proximal to middle, thin-margined basally. <b>Flowers</b> bisexual; perianth zygomorphic or irregular (1 or 3 segments usually larger), 1–4 mm diam.; perianth segments transversely winged proximally (continuously in disk or interrupted), rounded and keeled abaxially and/or horned or hooded distally; stigmas usually 2. <b>Seeds</b> dimorphic; lenticular, 0.8–1.7 mm diam., with seed coat black, shiny; or flat, 1–1.5 mm diam., with seed coat brown, dull. <b>2n</b> = 36.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>The name <i>Suaeda</i> depressa has been misapplied to this species (J. McNeill et al. 1977). In the northeastern part of its range, <i>S. calceoliformis</i> was long known as <i>S. americana</i>, but the two were found to be conspecific (I. J. Bassett and C. W. Crompton 1978). <i>Suaeda calceoliformis</i> can easily be confused with <i>S. occidentalis</i>, with which it is sympatric in the Great Basin; see comments under <i>S. occidentalis</i>. Plants of the annual Mexican seepweed, <i>S. mexicana</i> (Standley) Standley also are similar to <i>S. calceoliformis</i>, but are more or less shiny, yellowish or light brown, and have opposite leaves at the base and alternate ones distally. <i>Suaeda</i> mexicana has been reported once (in 1895) from El Paso County, Texas, but no specimens have been located to substantiate the report.</p>
