Abstract
Saltpeter (Nitraria L.) is a representative of the ancient desert flora [1] and belongs to halophytes. Species of this genus grow in the steppe and desert regions of Asia Minor, Central and Central Asia, in Southeastern Europe, North Africa.
Their habitats are confined to saline elementary landscapes, represented by closed saucer-shaped depressions with a shallow level of mineralized groundwater, as well as drying lake basins, where intraoral soils are formed - salt flats and salt marshes
