Suaeda sect. Helicilla (Moq.) Baillon in Baillon (1887: 195).

Helicilla Moquin-Tandon (1849: 169) .

Type:— Suaeda glauca (Bunge) Bunge

– “ Suaeda sect. Glaucae “ in Freitag & Lomonosova (2012: 104), nom. inval. (Art. 36.1c).

Improved diagnosis: —The sect. Helicilla differs from the similar sect. Schanginia by stems with marked collenchymatic ridges, leaves being narrow, biconvex and containing distinct water-storage mesophyll, flowers with usually 2 stigmas, irregular fruits which are apically flattened and strongly carinate, and regular (spherical) seeds having a prominently reticulate seed coat pattern attributable to sunken lines above the anticlinal cell walls aligned with narrow ridges. Also the nuclear ITS and plastid psb B- psb H and atp B- rbc L sequences widely deviate.

Species richness: —A monotypic section.
