|discussion=<p>A noxious and toxic weed in disturbed, barren, alkaline soils, <i>Halogeton glomeratus</i> is able to withstand high concentrations of salinity. It is often associated with <i>Sarcobatus vermiculatus</i> and <i>Atriplex confertifolia</i> and is found in the cold deserts of western United States.</p><!--
--><p>The first collection of <i>Halogeton</i> in the United States was by Ben Stahmann in Wells, <i>Nevada</i>, in 1934. It was not until the fall of 1942, when a herder lost 160 sheep, that the species was recognized as toxic to livestock (J. A. Young et al. 1999).</p>
